Brest set to raid PSG!

Change is expected this summer in Brest, where sporting director Grégory Lorenzi is on his way out. According to L’Équipe, this could have an impact on Paris Saint-Germain as well. The sports daily reported on Wednesday that Yohan Cabaye, the former midfielder who is now sporting director of PSG’s academy and pre-academy, is being considered to replace the Brest executive, who is said to be heading to Nice.

Cabaye “feels ready to take the next step and assume the role of sporting director in Ligue 1.”

“Above all, talks have begun with OGC Nice, which appears to have found the successor to Florian Maurice, who is leaving. However, the Bastia native, 42, will not leave Finistère without first finding his own replacement. And no one else at Brest, which has a lean executive structure, has his network or the ability to explore the market. So he thought of Yohan Cabaye, the sporting director of PSG’s academy. Holding a UEFA Pro license since the start of the year, which allows him to carry out the most important roles in a professional club (from head coach to sporting director), he also obtained the University Diploma in General Management from the Centre for Sports Law and Economics (CDES) in Limoges in 2023. It was the 12th graduating class, which also honored… Lorenzi, and the two men therefore saw each other regularly over two years. Close to each other, they have always stayed in touch and recently met in the capital. The northerner, who enjoys living in Paris, feels ready to take the next step and assume the role of sporting director in Ligue 1.”

There do seem to be possible discussions, with changes that could be significant during the summer of 2026. Even though Cabaye has achieved strong results within PSG’s academy setup, the recent investigation may have left its mark, even if he was confirmed in his position afterward. The opportunity to discover the role of a “main” sporting director could also be appealing.

However, caution is needed, as nothing is certain yet. For now, it is only a rumor, and not everything will necessarily be easy to sort out. For example, PSG would also want a replacement for such a special and far from unimportant role. We will have to wait and see how the situation develops. Everything could take time to fall into place, even though there can be no delay, as preparations for next season are already underway.
