SM Caen, recently acquired by Kylian Mbappé's family through their company Interconnected Ventures, is just 5 points behind the leaders in Ligue 2. This acquisition has raised great expectations for a potential promotion to Ligue 1. However, Ziad Hammoud, the new president of the club, has tempered speculation, stating that there are no promises of reaching the top tier this season.

Hammoud emphasized that the club's focus is on sustainable growth, avoiding hasty decisions that could compromise the institution's future. Although the team's performance has been positive, the priority is to strengthen the structure and consolidate the club in the long term.

The Mbappé family's project with Caen is centered on developing young talents and creating a solid football identity. Hammoud has highlighted the importance of not succumbing to external pressure, despite the club's connection to one of the most prominent figures in world football.

With a season still ahead, the goal is to continue competing at the highest level in Ligue 2, while keeping an eye on sustainable growth. The club's fans have reasons to be optimistic, though the management remains steadfast in its cautious approach.

Attention will be on how SM Caen balances high expectations with the reality of a season in the French second division, with hopes that, with patience and planning, promotion to Ligue 1 can be a tangible possibility in the near future.
