Le Havre knew exactly why it wanted to keep Luka Elsner on its bench. Likewise, Elsner understood why he wanted to take over Reims, a club with a rich history and, to be honest, a higher quality of player roster. Regardless, Luka Elsner has proven to be a perfect match for Reims, as the former Champions League finalist under the guidance of the Slovenian is achieving very good results this season.
Elsner and his charges are currently on a five-match unbeaten streak, despite facing Paris Saint-Germain, the league leaders, and Marseille, currently in third place. Reims managed to draw both matches while winning the other three. On Sunday, they confidently defeated Angers, the former club of Miha Blažič, with a score of 3:1.
At the Raymond Kopa stadium, which recently hosted the young Slovenian national team, the first goal came in the 9th minute from Japanese player Keito Nakamura. In the 25th minute, his compatriot Junya Ito also found the net. The match was effectively decided when Marshall Munetsi scored in the 79th minute, with Zinedine Ferhat only managing to reduce the deficit for the home team five minutes later.
With this victory, Angers climbed to fourth place in the Ligue 1 standings, which could lead to a spot in the Champions League by the end of the season. There’s still a long way to go, but if the morning shows the day, it seems the Ljubljana native may be on track for his best season yet in foreign leagues.
