The six-time French champion had a strong start last season, but then the team lost concentration and slipped into the second half of the standings. 38 rounds brought 13 victories and six peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 45 points. This result brought a spurt at the finish line, ending in three victories in four rounds over Rennes (1:0), Lens (3:0) and Reims (2:1). The attack line played very poorly, hitting the opponents’ goal only 42 times. At the end of July the team was headed by Vladimir Petkovich. Gideon Mensah from Red Bulls and Ricardo Mangas from Boavista will play on loan.
Last season Reims did not even manage to reach the top ten. For 38 rounds the team won only nine wins and 15 matches ended in a draw, which brought 42 points and 14th final place. In the last five rounds, the “red-whites” once played a draw with “Nimes” (2:2), while losing all other matches. Andreu Gravillon from Inter, who will play on loan, has moved to the reinforcement team. In addition, guests will start the tournament with a new mentor, who became the Spaniard Oscar Garcia on June 23rd.
