Alexandre Dujeux has left his position as manager of Angers SCO, the Ligue 1 club confirmed in an official statement on Monday. Dujeux informed the club’s direction of his desire to end his tenure with the team, bringing an end to his time in Anjou.
Angers secured their Ligue 1 status for another season, finishing in 13th place despite operating with limited financial resources. Dujeux was praised for his commitment to an attacking style of play, even within challenging circumstances, and his work is expected to attract interest from clubs of a higher stature. The club expressed its gratitude to Dujeux, wishing him success in his future endeavours.
Dujeux himself released a statement thanking the club, stating, “I leave today with a lot of gratitude and pride. Angers SCO will always hold a special place in my career. I wish the club the best for the future.” He took charge of Angers with the aim of building a competitive squad and implementing a clear tactical identity.
While no immediate destination has been announced for Dujeux, several Ligue 1 clubs are reported to be considering a move for the recently departed manager. The DNCG, the financial fair play body in French football, recently approved one club for promotion to Ligue 1, potentially creating another vacancy. His success in stabilizing Angers despite limited resources makes him an attractive candidate for clubs seeking a manager who can achieve results with a smaller budget. This departure marks a changing of the guard for Angers, as they now begin the search for a new head coach to lead them into the next season.
