Brest to Begin Contract Extension Talks with Manager Eric Roy

Stade Brestois 29 is set to commence discussions with head coach Eric Roy regarding a contract extension in the coming weeks. Roy’s current agreement with the Ligue 1 club is due to expire at the conclusion of the 2023-2024 season.

Roy has enjoyed remarkable success since taking charge of Brest in January 2023, following an 11-year hiatus from management. Under his guidance, the team secured an impressive third-place finish in Ligue 1 last season, earning a coveted spot in the UEFA Champions League. The club has continued to perform admirably in Europe’s premier club competition this term.

Despite the looming contract expiration, both parties remain optimistic about reaching an agreement. Initial informal talks between Roy and club officials have been encouraging, with all indications pointing towards an extension. The specifics of the contract, including duration and compensation, are yet to be determined. The club plans to present a formal offer following the Champions League playoff round.

Roy’s successful tenure at Brest marks a triumphant return to management for the former Nice head coach and Watford sporting director. His leadership has propelled the Breton club to new heights, and fans are eagerly anticipating news of his potential contract extension.
