## Summary

RC Lens have dismissed head coach Yannick Cahuzac after a poor run that included a 9-1 Champions League defeat by Como, which matched the competition’s heaviest loss. The result was followed by domestic defeats to Lille and Marseille, marking a sharp reversal for a club that won the French Cup and finished second in Ligue 1 last season.

Cahuzac had been promoted from assistant after predecessor Dino Toppmoeller was dismissed in September. He won three and lost six of his nine matches in charge; Lens are 11th in Ligue 1 with 13 points and 33rd in the Champions League with three. They host Toulouse next week.
