French club Lens have dismissed head coach Yannick Cahuzac following a heavy defeat in the UEFA Champions League, AFP reported on Tuesday.
The decision comes after Lens suffered a rout in European competition, prompting the club's hierarchy to part ways with the former player-turned-coach. Cahuzac, who had been in charge of the Ligue 1 side, leaves his position with immediate effect.
Lens, who compete in France's top flight, will now begin the search for a new manager as they look to recover from the Champions League setback and maintain their domestic form.
