LORIENT, France \u2014 French league club Lorient hired Alexandre Dujeux as its new coach on Tuesday to replace Olivier Pantaloni.<\/p>

Lorient said in a statement that Dujeux signed for the next two seasons, plus an optional additional year.<\/p>\n

Dujeux was in charge of Angers from March 2023, leading the club back to Ligue 1 at the end of the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n

A former defender, Dujeux played more than 400 professional matches in France for Red Star, Chateauroux, Le Havre, Troyes, Ajaccio, and Tours. He then managed 127 matches at Angers.<\/p>

\u201cWe want to play effective and ambitious football, driven by a strong collective identity,\u201d Dujeux said.<\/p>\n

Lorient had announced earlier this season that Pantaloni had declined a contract extension. Appointed in 2024 following relegation, Pantaloni immediately helped Lorient back to the top tier. Lorient finished 10th in Ligue 1 last season, and Angers 13th.<\/p>\n

Black Knight Football Club group became Lorient\u2019s sole shareholder in January. The Black Knight consortium<\/a> fronted by American businessman Bill Foley, which owns the Vegas Golden Knights in the NHL, had acquired a minority ownership interest in Lorient in January 2023 as part of its multi-club ownership strategy.<\/p>
