What Happened
Carles Martínez Novell's run in southern France is ending. Toulouse confirmed Wednesday that the ir Spanish manager will step away once the Ligue 1 campaign wraps up.
The club sits tenth in the table with three matches remaining—a perfectly middle-of-the-road finish for a side that has neither pushed for Europe nor looked seriously threatened by relegation this spring.
Why It Matters
Martínez Novell arrived at Stadium de Toulouse or iginally as an assistant, helping the club capture the French Cup in 2023 before being promoted to the top job for the following season.
"A big thank you as well to the supporters for the ir constant support, and to the city for its warm welcome from day one," he said. "I leave with incredible memories that will stay with me forever. Stand up. Always."
What Comes Next
The club has not yet named a replacement. The timing suggests a quiet handover rather than a dramatic rebuild—but those tend to be the departures that leave the biggest silence in the dressing room afterward.
