The Mbappé clan is preparing a huge revolution in Caen

The arrival of Mathieu Bodmer at Caen should mark the beginning of a vast reconstruction project. As we recently revealed, the Normandy club, under the impetus of the Mbappé family, wants to bring back the native of Évreux to the club. The former SMC player announced his departure from Le Havre after securing their survival against Lorient last weekend. “There are things that I find hard to accept internally, so I made the decision to stop and we will see what happens next. It’s my decision,” Bodmer said to everyone’s surprise.

According to the latest information, his return to Stade Malherbe de Caen has made significant progress in recent days. The idea would be to entrust the former PSG player with full sporting powers. We also reveal that Nasser Larguet, one of Bodmer’s first trainers, will join the club’s organization chart for the upcoming season. His expertise in training will undoubtedly be added value.

Several important departures programmed

According to L’Équipe newspaper, the Mbappé family, eager to step up a gear at a time when the club costs more money than it brings in, plans other movements. Arriving in January 2025 as technical director, former Nîmes coach Pascal Plancque is likely to leave the club. The same will apparently happen with recruitment manager Reda Hammache, back from a long sick leave. Changes are also planned in governance.

Right-hand man of the Mbappé clan and appointed club president in 2024, Ziad Hammoud consulted local entrepreneurs to succeed him in his duties. There is also the question of coach Gaël Clichy, appointed in December 2025. The former assistant to Thierry Henry with the French youth team finished 8th in the National league in his first season, failing to promote the club to Ligue 2. But according to L’Équipe, he has seen his scope of action expand over the past few months, a sign of some confidence. The club’s ambitions for this season are clear: to climb back to Ligue 2. And it is with this goal in mind that Bodmer is expected.
