Walid Regragui is in contention to take the managerial vacancy at RC Lens, as per a report from Foot Mercato. Les Sang et Or have honed in on two targets for the role.

Lens made Yannick Cahuzac’s deaprture from the club official on Thursday night. The Corsican lasted just nine days in the role and paid the price for a disastrous week that culminated in three defeats in all competitions, including the joint-heaviest defeat in UEFA Champions League history (1-9 at home to Como 1907). ‘

Cahuzac’s exit conicided with Pierre Sage’s departure from Crystal Palace. The Frenchman left Lens to move to Selhurst Park in the summer and is now the favourite to succeed Cahuzac at the Bollaert.

However, another name has now emerged, that of Regragui. He has not been in management since his departure from the Morocco national team earlier this year. Foot Mercato understands that the Moroccan has even met with Lens’ executives with a view to potentially taking the role.
