“There is a preference on both sides to build together. Both humanly and athletically, Zak is an intelligent person. But the club cannot release a professional contract as temporarily as others. I’m disappointed. ” On Monday, July 8, the day of the resumption of training at Olympique Nîmes, sporting director Sébastien Larcier lamented the departure of Zakary Lamgahez to Le Mans (National), while the club of the crocodiles sought to keep him.
The sublime 21-year-old central finisher, born in Nîmes and trained in Montpellier Hérault (where he did professional internships), will have been in the news in recent months. In spite of himself. In April, Adil Hermach, the new coach, promoted his central defender to the first team’s starting reserve team. At the end of a very good first performance against Versailles (0-1), he was to blame for a bad restart. and finishing a hand for the opponent from Ile-de-France.
Then, in the middle of the “Orleans affair”, the Loiré club claimed its qualification for the match between the USO and the NO, beating the Crocodiles (1-0). And, pending the final ruling in favor of Nîmes, he could not play in the following matches.
Satisfied with his results in training and in the championship, the management of Nîmes presented him with a professional contract at the end of May. “We reached a verbal agreement with the club, then Sébastien Larcier sent us a written proposal via WhatsApp, which we accepted, explain those close to the player. Zak wanted to sign for Nîmes and he is delighted. ” Especially since the proposal of a three-year corporate contract.
Except that “after a month, there was still no progress, no validation or signature. Then they told us that we had to wait because the club had to reduce its payroll,” continues a member of the Lamgahez family. We were told that we would have a medical exam, but after a while we also postponed it, for Zak’s sake. to look elsewhere, from the outside. N2 clubs and even one from Ligue 2 so that he can be only a fourth central defender. And Le Mans came quickly, with a sporting order and great facilities. “And a first professional contract of two years and one year.
On the one hand, even if the NO had a deficit of more than 3 million last season and therefore needed to exfiltrate some players before recruiting others, it is possible that control and therefore Rani Assaf have made the effort for Lamgahez, especially since the club’s salary bill has not been limited through the DNCG, the monetary watchdog of French football. On the other hand, Zakary Lamgahez may have waited a little longer, the club, Sébastien Larcier and Adil Hermach are counting on him. . .
“Yes, Zak would have ended up signing professionally in Nimes, but we didn’t know if it would be in a week, a month or a year,” his entourage confesses. The club had just parted ways with two physiotherapists, so there was financial uncertainty. Zak has an amateur contract, what would happen if he were injured at the beginning of the season, before signing?
