Lille confirm Rene Girard exit

Lille announce that coach Rene Girard will leave the club by mutual consent this summer.

Lille have confirmed that coach Rene Girard will leave the club by mutual consent at the end of the season.

The 61-year-old has spent the past two years at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Assistant coaches Gerard Bernadet and Nicolas Girard will also part company with the club this summer.

Lille are currently in eighth place in the Ligue 1 table and play their final game of the campaign on Saturday when they travel to Metz.

"President Michel Seydoux and the club would like to acknowledge the human values and qualities of Rene Girard, with whom our relationship has always been sincere and respectful," read an official statement. "LOSC and its directors wish him the very best of success in his professional endeavours in the future."

Ivory Coast coach Herve Renard is the current favourite to place Girard in the Lille dugout.
