Stéphane Moulin has been appointed as the new manager of US Concarneau, the French National 3 club announced on Saturday. Moulin replaces Stéphane Rossi, who had been with Concarneau for two seasons. The club confirmed the appointment via a statement released on their official website and social media channels.
Moulin returns to the Grand Ouest region of France, having previously managed Angers SCO for five years before departing in 2021. His most recent managerial role was with Valenciennes, also in the National 3 division, where he served last season. The appointment sees Moulin rejoin the third tier of French football, aiming to build on Concarneau’s ninth-place finish in the recent campaign.
US Concarneau achieved promotion to the National 3 in 2023, and the club will be hoping Moulin can replicate that success and guide them towards a promotion to Ligue 2. The club’s ambition is clearly focused on moving up the league table and challenging for higher honours. Moulin’s experience in the region and his previous managerial achievements make him a suitable candidate to lead this charge.
Moulin’s return to the region is anticipated to be well-received by supporters, given his previous tenure with Angers. His tactical approach and player development skills are expected to be key assets for Concarneau as they strive to achieve their goals. The club’s games will also be broadcast on Ligue 1+, increasing their visibility and reach. This appointment signals a fresh start for US Concarneau as they look to make a significant impact in the upcoming season.
