AS Nancy-Lorraine has ensured its place in Ligue 2 for the upcoming campaign, but the club appears set to part ways with manager Pablo Correa. The Uruguayan tactician, who guided the team to safety, has not been offered a new deal, signaling an imminent separation.
According to information from regional daily L'Est Républicain, Correa will not remain at the helm next season despite the successful relegation battle. The lack of a renewal proposal suggests the club is looking in a different direction for the future.
Correa, a familiar figure in French football, has had two separate stints at Nancy, the most recent starting in 2023. He took over a side struggling near the bottom of Ligue 2 and managed to steady the ship, culminating in survival with room to spare. His tactical acumen and ability to motivate players were praised during the run-in.
For Nancy, the decision to let Correa go comes as a surprise to some fans, given the achievement of avoiding the drop. The club's management may be planning a new project or seeking a different style of play to build on this season's foundation.
The departure leaves Nancy in search of a new head coach during the offseason. With transfer plans and preseason preparations on the horizon, the club will need to move swiftly to appoint a successor who can continue the positive momentum.
Correa's future remains uncertain, but his résumé—including previous promotions and cup runs with Nancy—will attract interest from other clubs in Ligue 2 and potentially abroad.
