Dunkerque's Luís Castro wants to join Lens after rejecting Shakhtar Donetsk
USL Dunkerque's Luís Castro turned down the opportunity to become Shakhtar Donetsk's new manager, however, the Portuguese technician is interested in another job in France, according to a report from Foot Mercato. Castro exceeded all expectations this season, taking Dunkerque into the promotion play-offs in Ligue 2. His side came unstuck against FC Metz in the dying moments and, as a result, will compete in the second tier once again next season. However, will that be with or without Castro? Ukrainian side Shakhtar Donetsk had hoped to recruit the Dunkerque manager as a successor to Marino Pusic, however, Castro refused. Arda Turan has now been confirmed in the post. But that does not mean that the Portuguese manager won't leave Dunkerque during the off season. RC Lens remain without a manager. Will Still left the club to join Southampton earlier this month after just one season. Castro is open to joining Les Sang et Or. Castro's representatives have held talks with the club's new sporting director, Jean-Louis Leca, however, there are other candidates in the running, notably former Olympique Lyonnais manager Pierre Sage.
