The bottom side in Ligue 1 suffered their 14th defeat of the season on Saturday, losing 2-0 at Lorient. | De Taddeo, 50, became reserve team coach at Metz in 1996. He took over the first team last season and was voted Ligue 2 manager of the year - his first year of coaching a professional team - as he guided Metz to promotion as champions. However this time the team has managed only one victory in 19 games and is already 13 points from safety. A statement on the club website read: "Following the problems the team has encountered, Metz Football Club has decided to part ways from Francis De Taddeo. The two parties will meet at the beginning of January to finalise the terms of his departure. "We will step up the pace until we find a successor who will have the profile of an experienced coach, with good knowledge of Ligue 1 and 2. We hope to have that new coach in place in the next dew days." | |
