CRISIS AT LENS: TOPPMOLLER SACKED FOR HIS ASSISTANT

The scenes behind the sudden managerial departure at French Ligue 1 side Lens have been revealed. The waters are not calming down at Lens, who started the season with the success of taking the Super Cup to their museum by defeating Paris Saint-Germain, but could only collect four points in the first four matches they played in the league. According to Sky Germany (Sky DE), the main reason for head coach Dino Toppmöller's dismissal was the interference with the technical staff rather than sporting results. According to the claims, the Lens management informed that they wanted to part ways with assistant coach Nelson Morgado, one of the names Toppmöller has worked with for years and trusts the most. The German coach, who brought only two assistant coaches with him to France when he took office and accepted with great maturity that the rest of the technical staff members would be determined by the club, strongly opposed this decision. Toppmöller, who absolutely refused to accept interference in his own core team and the dismissal of his closest colleague Morgado, did not compromise his attitude. The Lens management, who did not step back after this crisis, terminated the contract of Dino Toppmöller, who did not approve Morgado's departure, and ended his duty. This development, which caused great astonishment in the sports public, revealed the administrative disagreements within the club. Lens fans are worried about the season drifting into chaos.
