Can you imagine if someone who fought to avoid relegation with their club were chosen as coach of the year in Slovenia? Many would surely have a lot to say… But in France, they seem to look at it a little differently. And so, among the candidates for coach of the season in Ligue 1, we find none other than Luka Elsner! The expert from Slovenia was invited to Monday’s gala event, where he didn’t win, but just being there was undoubtedly something unimaginable for him.
The award for the best coach in Ligue 1 in the 2023/24 season went to Eric Roy from Brest, who could have secured a spot in the Champions League with his team in the final round. Alongside Elsner, the nominated experts included Luis Enrique (Paris Saint-Germain), Paulo Fonseca (Lille), who faced Olimpija in Europe last autumn, and Franck Haise (Lens). A prestigious group, no doubt…
Luka Elsner, who was chosen as the best coach in Ligue 2 last year, led Le Havre to safety in the top flight this year, despite a significant downturn in results towards the end of the season. However, the former coach of Domžale and Olimpija managed to gather enough strength and secure at least one more season in Ligue 1.
