RC Lens clinch first Coupe de France as Pierre Sage hesitates

RC Lens secured the Coupe de France on Friday, delivering the club's first ever triumph in the competition. The victory arrived days after the team confirmed a second‑place finish in Ligue 1. The club, former Ligue 1 champions, described the season as historic. Their league runner‑up position and cup win represent the most successful campaign in recent memory. Pierre Sage remains undecided on his future with RC Lens. The midfielder’s indecision is portrayed as a consequence of the club’s rapid rise. RC Lens will now turn its focus to the upcoming season, aiming to sustain the momentum generated by the double achievement.
