ESTAC Troyes are set to appoint former EA Guingamp head coach Stéphane Dumont as their next manager. This decision comes after the precautionary suspension of their current head coach David Guion.

What happened?

The suspension of Guion was announced last week, and it appeared highly likely that he would not manage ESTAC Troyes again.

Why it matters for ESTAC Troyes

Guion was appointed in December, following the firing of Patrick Kisnorbo, but he was unable to improve results, and the club was initially relegated from Ligue 2 to Championnat National.

However, following FC Girondins de Bordeaux's administrative relegation, ESTAC Troyes were given a lifeline and maintained their position in Ligue 2 for another season. Guion would not be provided the same blessing, and it now appears imminent that his time at Les Champenois will officially come to an end.

What comes next?

The appointment of Dumont is expected to take place in the next few hours, according to a report by Le Parisien journalist Marc Mechenoua. As of June 25, 2026, ESTAC Troyes are currently 1st in Ligue 2, with 67 points from 34 games, and a recent form of LWWWL. Their goal difference is +27, with 60 goals scored and 33 conceded. They lead the top of the table by 5 points, ahead of Le Mans. | Stat | Value | | League standing | 1st in Ligue 2 | | Points | 67 | | Goal difference | +27 | | Lead at the top | 5 points clear of Le Mans |
