Racing Club de Lens is actively bolstering its squad following its recent clearance by the DNCG (Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion) and the influx of a new shareholder. Under the leadership of head coach Antoine Kombouaré, the club aims to play a prominent role in Ligue 2 for the upcoming season with the ultimate goal of returning to the elite in 2014.
The recruitment strategy involves a strategic blend of young talents and seasoned players, exemplified by the return of Daniel Ljuboja. Another addition to the squad appears imminent, with reports suggesting that Malian international Adama Coulibaly was present at La Gaillette, the Lens training center, on Monday. Currently a player for AJ Auxerre, Coulibaly has one year remaining on his contract with the club, but his substantial salary has prompted the management to list him for transfer. If the deal materializes, Coulibaly would make a return to Lens, where he previously donned the Blood and Gold colors for an impressive nine seasons.
