Until then in charge of the national women’s and U17 selection of Djibouti, Sarah M’Barek has been presented at RC Lens. The Frenchwoman becomes the new manager and coach of the women’s club.

“The idea of writing a page in the history of RC Lens attracted me a lot. Making women’s football grow up here, helping to develop it and playing a first division is really great goals and challenges.” She justified for her new choice.

“The main target of this season is to finish in the top three. Even if in our minds we want to climb, the first step is to structure well. Settle down and aim for the climb,” added M’Barek.

Djibouti will have to find a new staff head for its national women’s team.
