Caen had just come close to relegation to the National. Moulin lifted him to 7th place in Ligue 2 last season, but remained far from the leading group for the climb this season, with a 5th place after 35 days. “With Stéphane Moulin, the Stade Malherbe will have notably succeeded in winning back its public“, rejoices the club in a press release, thanking”warmly» Moulin «for his work and his involvement».
The Caennais can still hope to finish 4th in L2. They have three matches left to play: trip to Amiens (May 20), reception of Saint-Étienne (May 26) and trip to Pau (June 2). Bruno Irles, free since his dismissal from Troyes last November, would be a potential successor to Moulin.
