Habib Beye could return to coaching in France, with RC Lens reportedly eyeing him to replace the expected departure of Yannick Cahuzac.

According to L’Équipe, the Lens-based club is also interested in Didier Digard and is monitoring the situation of Régis Le Bris, who is currently struggling at Sunderland.

However, owner Joseph Oughourlian’s top priority remains Pierre Sage, who is close to leaving Crystal Palace.

Habib Beye’s name on the list thus reflects RC Lens interest in several candidates before deciding on the identity of its next head coach.
