Le Havre, led by Slovenian expert Luka Elsner, is in a series of really poor results. The last victory dates back more than a month ago, and in the past five matches of Ligue 1, the mentioned French club suffered four defeats and only added one point. After two consecutive home defeats against direct rivals in the relegation battle, rumors have understandably emerged that Luka Elsner could lose his job. But the Slovenian can sleep peacefully; such a scenario is more than unlikely to materialize.
“We are where we deserve to be,” Le Havre’s sporting director Mathieu Bodmer told L’Equipe, adding: “To dismiss Luka Elsner? What an idea! Luka Elsner and his staff are 500 percent focused on achieving the set goal, which is, of course, survival in Ligue 1.” But even if Le Havre ends up in Ligue 2 at the end of the season, which they won last year, Luka Elsner will “lead the senior team, whether it’s in the first or second French league,” some media in France further note.
Four rounds before the end of the season, Le Havre is in 16th place in the Ligue 1 table, which leads to additional playoffs. However, Lorient, who is second to last and would currently drop to Ligue 2, is only two points behind. Luka Elsner will try to earn new points as early as this weekend, but the task will be similar to a mission impossible: Le Havre will visit Paris to face Paris Saint-Germain. Overall, Elsner’s team faces a tough schedule ahead, with matches against Nice and Marseille, both fighting for Europe, also on the horizon.
