In May 2022, Le Bris obtained a professional coaching license [fr];[4][7] on 27 June of the same year, he was appointed as the head coach of Lorient's first team, signing a three-year contract.[6][8] In his first season at the club, he led the team to a tenth-place finish in the league;[2] in March 2023, he extended his contract with Lorient until 2027.[9][10] Following their relegation to the Ligue 2 at the end of the 2023–24 campaign,[11][12] Le Bris officially left the club by mutual consent on 22 June 2024.[13][14]

Sunderland[edit]

On 22 June 2024, it was announced that Le Bris would be appointed as the head coach of EFL Championship club Sunderland on 1 July, signing a three-year contract in the process.[2][3][15]
