In an interview for Ouest-France, released this Saturday, the coach of En Avant Guingamp, Sarah M'Barek has announced his departure from the Breton club at the end of the season.

At four days before the end of the French championship, the 40-year-old coach revealed that she will no longer head the EAG next season. The coach arrives at the end of the contract with the Breton club and explains to be so far without news of its leaders and adds: "when we have no news on that date, we know what to expect. "

After five seasons on the Guingampan bench, Sarah M'Barek believes that "it's the end of a cycle. "A cycle where she had a better result in fifth place, behind the Lyon quartet, Paris Saint-Germain, Juvisy (now Paris FC) and Montpellier. An end of the cycle also marked by the strike of the group Guingampais in February, a sequence that had participated to show the gap between a speech that aims to move towards professional team standards and a reality still far from the ambitions displayed.

The ex-Montpellier player, who has also started on a D1 bench at the MHSC in 2007 before joining the Côtes d'Armor in 2013, will take a rest before leaving "on something else". It remains to know what, she who since last year now has the BEPF (Professional Football Coach Certificate), diploma that allows him to train professional teams (women or men) and therefore to lead for example in the League 1 or in Men's League 2, like Corinne Deacon before her.

For the moment Sarah M'Barek remains focused on one goal, to finish the job well and to get that support. A win against Lille this Sunday would allow the Guingampaises to "blow a little and aim for a more honorable place thereafter. "
