Brest’s Daouda Guindo to join Reims | OneFootball

Daouda Guindo (23) is set to join Ligue 2 side Stade de Reims on a free transfer, as per a report from Onze Mondial.

Guindo joined Stade Brestois last summer following the expiry of his contract at Austrian club Red Bull Salzburg. The Malian signed a one-year deal with Les Ty-Zéfs. Over the course of the season, he made 26 appearances in all competitions, 25 of which came in Ligue 1. In that time, he netted once and registered one assist. 

However, he will not extend at Brest and will instead make the drop into Ligue 2. He is set to sign a five-year deal with Les Stadistes, Onze Mondial understands. The club recently made a managerial change and will be led by Nicolas Usai going into next season. 

It comes following last season’s failure to make an immediate return to the top flight. Reims missed out on the promotion play-offs entirely.
