Toulouse FC are in the market for a new manager after confirming the impending exit of Carles Martínez Novell earlier this week.
Olivier Pantaloni, who will leave FC Lorient at the end of the season, emerged as a frontrunner; however, he is attracting interest from other clubs, including FC Nantes, despite Les Canaris being on the brink of relegation to Ligue 2. L’Équipe understands that Toulouse have not submitted an offer for Pantaloni.
Other candidates for the role are now emerging, including AJ Auxerre’s Christophe Pélissier, as per L’Équipe. He is described as a credible candidate by the publication.
As well as Pélissier, there is also the possibility of Jordan Galtier following in the footsteps of Martínez Novell. The latter was promoted from his role as assistant, a role currently occupied by Galtier (son of former Paris Saint-Germain and Lille OSC manager Christophe Galtier). The promotion of the assistant manager is an option, too.
