Le Mans FC has made an important decision by bringing in Bruno Cheyrou as a senior sports advisor. According to Ouest-France, he will not be a sports director in the strict sense, but he will help organize the entire pole in the most effective way possible.

Who is Bruno Cheyrou?

Bruno Cheyrou is a former player of Lille OSC and Liverpool, who has also held positions within UEFA. He is part of a football steering committee, composed of Patrick Videira, Olivier Thomas, Aymeric Magne, and Pedro Oliveira.

What will his role be?

His role will be to optimize the connection and daily work between all poles: academy, first team, performance and health, recruitment, and team management. The Sarthe club is currently 2nd in Ligue 2, with 62 points, 16 wins, 14 draws, and 4 losses, and a goal difference of +19.

What does this mean for Le Mans FC?

This arrival is a sign of the club's desire to strengthen and prepare for the rest of the season. President Pedro Oliveira stated that all strategic decisions related to football will be discussed within the steering committee, which will meet on a weekly basis. The club is 5 points behind leaders Estac Troyes, and this arrival could be a key element in catching up with them.
