Coach Bertrand Marchand has signed a new two-year contract at En Avant Guingamp which ties him to the Ligue 1 side until 2005.
European hopefuls
The 50-year-old took control of the team in June last year and has enjoyed a memorable first season at the Stade Roudourou. Guingamp, who briefly led Ligue 1, are seventh with two games remaining and eyeing a place in the UEFA Intertoto Cup.
'Long-term basis'
"I'm happy with this agreement," Marchand said. "I enjoy it at Guingamp. President Noël Le Graet wants someone on a long-term basis and I fully agree with him."
