The new Fennec (25) discovers Djamel Belmadi’s group without having to focus at the same time on his future in the club: at the end of his contract with the SCO, where he arrived in the summer of 2016, he will engage with Caen. In Normandy, he must sign for two years, plus a third year in the event of a rise in Ligue 1, the priority objective of Stade Malherbe for next season. There, the goalkeeper trained in Nice will find Stéphane Moulin, the former SCO technician, and his staff.

After backing down at the last minute when he had to extend last summer in a delicate period for the SCO, threatened with administrative relegation to L2, the goalkeeper was offered a new role as understudy by Gérald Baticle, in the shadow of future recruit Yahia Fofana. While its leaders, they were slow to offer him a new contract. But Mandrea was asked elsewhere (Valenciennes, Quevilly-Rouen) for a titular role. And Caen knew how to seduce him.
