Brest target PSG director Yohan Cabaye

With Grégory Lorenzi nearing an exit from Stade Brestois, the Breton club are potentially in the market for a new sporting director this summer, and their attention has turned to the Director of Paris Saint-Germain’s Academy, Yohan Cabaye, according to a report from L’Équipe.

Lorenzi is attracting interest from clubs across France, however, his most likely destination is OGC Nice. Le Gymare long-term admirers and the sporting director role at the club is expected to be vacated by Florian Maurice at the end of the season.

However, Lorenzi won’t depart without a replacement being found. Brest have now set their sights on Cabaye. The former PSG and Newcastle United midfielder has been the Director of *Les Parisiens’*Academy since October 2024 and recently acquired the UEFA Pro Licence, which will allow him to exercise functions at a professional club.

Cabaye himself feels ready to assume the role of sporting director at a Ligue 1 club and he may make that step come the summer. There would be a lot of work at Brest, with many of the club’s players out of contract at the end of next season.
