Franck Haise the new favourite to be next Brighton manager

Lens lost three of their best players in the summer. They are still in Ligue 1 and are challenging for the title. Haise has overcome the loss of key players by clever recruitment and coaching. He has also maximised the talents of his squad by creating a certain kind of culture off the pitch. Lens finished seventh last season. The club is banked on how Haising and Lens work in transfer market. It is a similar model to Brighton under Potter. Lens signed Lois Openda from Vitesse Arnhem for €10 million. Florian Sotoca has scored five goals from seven games so far in 2022-23.

Franck Haise is the new favourite to become the next Brighton manager. Haising is a gamble for Brighton, but Bloom has gambled before and it has paid off. Other candidates on the shortlist have a greater body of work than Haises. They have proven themselves in different environments. There is an element of risk attached to every other manager Brighton have been linked with.
