Stade Brestois are resetting their model and putting player development first after sporting director Grégory Lorenzi’s exit was confirmed in spring.

According to L'Équipe, that announcement acted as a jolt for the Finistère club, triggering a complete rethink of its operations.

Rather than appoint a like-for-like successor, Brest have chosen not to replace Lorenzi in the role.

Following a decade of clear successes with him as architect, the club is now reshaping how it works day to day.

The new direction centres on formation, seen as the path to performance.
