Le Havre have officially confirmed the departures of head coach Didier Digard and club president Jean-Michel Roussier, the Normandy-based club announced on Sunday.

Leadership Overhaul at Ligue 1 Club

The double exit marks a significant leadership change for the Ligue 1 side. Digard, who took charge of the first team in 2023, guided Le Havre through their return to the French top flight after a six-year absence. Roussier had served as president since 2015, overseeing the club's structural development and promotion campaign.

No immediate replacements have been named, though the club stated that an announcement regarding the new sporting and administrative leadership would follow in the coming days. Le Havre currently sit in the lower half of the Ligue 1 table after 10 matchdays of the 2026-27 season.
