Eric Roy Uncertain About Future After Brest Draw
After the 1-1 draw with Angers on 17 May, Stade Brestois coach Eric Roy said he cannot guarantee he will remain on the bench next season. He emphasized the need for sporting guarantees.
The match against Angers was the final fixture of the 2025/2026 Ligue 1 campaign. The points share left both sides level on the board.
Eric Roy is under contract with Stade Brestois until 2027. The remaining duration of his deal was highlighted during the post‑match comments.
Roy explicitly requested that the club provide clear sporting assurances before confirming his future. He indicated that without such guarantees his position could be reconsidered.
The uncertainty adds a question mark over Brest’s planning for the 2026/2027 season. The club will need to decide whether to retain Roy or seek a new manager.
As the summer window approaches, Brest’s board is expected to address the coach’s demands and announce their decision. The outcome will shape the team’s preparation for the next campaign.
