Angers extend Alexandre Dujeux’s contract despite poor form

Despite a difficult start to the Ligue 1 campaign, Alexandre Dujeux is not in danger of being sacked anytime soon. On Saturday, Angers SCO announced that the former defender would be in charge of this club until 2026.

Dujeux took over this team in March 2023, winning just two Ligue 1 fixtures at the helm between then and the end of that campaign, as Angers were relegated.

He guided them back to the top flight in his first full campaign as their manager, finishing second in Ligue 2 a season ago.

The previous domestic campaign saw Les Scoistes improve by 50 points (68) from the 2022-23 season, when they wound up bottom of Ligue 1.

They currently find themselves at the bottom of the table with just two points from six league fixtures.

Before his arrival at Pays de la Loire, Dujeux was the interim boss at Tours, helping them narrowly avoid relegation during the 2014-15 Ligue 2 season.

Dujeux played over 300 matches for various French clubs, primarily in the second tier, including over 300 appearances at Châteauroux.
