Troyes have been searching for a new sporting director for several weeks following Sibierski's departure.

Bafétimbi Gomis was long among the leading contenders, but the former international will not take the job.

In recent days Blanchard has emerged as the clear favourite for the role, and there have been suggestions of a swift appointment.
