Star Player:
Anthony Le Tallec, on-loan from Liverpool last season, has made the move permanent in the close season, thanks largely to his key role in Le Mans campaign last year.
An attacking midfielder with an eye for goal, he found opportunities hard to come by at Liverpool, but he has seemed to settle back in France and will prove vital if Le Mans want to cement their position in Ligue 1.

Summary:
Le Mans, comfortable in mid-table the last three years, may find the loss of a number of regular players difficult to get over. Their 9th place finish last season was the club's best ever. That has only speeded up the process of players going onto bigger clubs and the introduction of the inexperienced Bertucci as head coach doesn't bode well. They'll be unfortunate to find themselves relegated this year, but may be the season after; a 15th finish would not be terrible given the movement of players at the club.
