Centerpiece of two FCAC seasons in which he had two years left on the contract, Rudy Gérard will no longer be Angoumoisin next season. The 31-year-old central defender chose to join his former club Trélissac (N2), where he had previously played for five seasons (2012–2016) before spending two years at Bergerac (2016–2018). He confirmed the information this Sunday to our colleagues from Dordogne Libre.
Rudy Gérard was the most used player in the 2018/2019 season and had missed two months of competition last winter due to a pubalgia before returning to competition in February against … Trélissac! Although evolving in Angoulême, he still lived in Dordogne where he coaches a team from Départemental 2.
“It was important for me to end my career at Trélissac, where it all started as an amateur, he explained to Dordogne Libre. In addition, with my wife, we are expecting a happy event, scheduled for July. However, as we still live in Dordogne, I wanted to get closer to my home, to have less to do. “
A departure from Angoulême which “Went well, including between the two clubs, he added. It is better because we are almost sure to cross paths in the championship next season! Angoulême is disappointed, obviously, because I think they appreciated my human and playing values. And I helped achieve the goal in my first season, namely to go up to National. But I never hid my attachment to the Dordogne and Trélissac. They understood it perfectly. “
Rudy Gérard is FCAC’s fifth departure after that of captain and defender Yann Djabou (Alès), other defender Dylan Maga (Chartres), midfielder Lucas Franco who said yesterday that he joined Alès in company de Djabou, and striker Ashley Mokke (Rumilly-Vallières).
The club will hold a press conference tomorrow Monday at the end of the day which will be an opportunity to take stock of this off-season marked for the moment by the departure of several senior players without any official arrival.
