Even if it keeps its touch of originality, with a project mixing football and music, the club ofUSON Mondeville relearns sobriety. No more federal contracts (Thomas Bosmel and Andy Pinçon were the last to benefit), the assisted contract of Hamza Ould Jawar and the disproportionate emoluments for Regional 1. Make way for real life with regional recruitment, light expenses and more ideas than means, one swears in the Caen area.
A largely renewed workforce
The first result was not long in coming. Mondeville has lost almost all of its executives, even if some have remained like Loïc Cheraldini, Hamza Ould Jawar and Julien Toudic. The start list is long, ranging from Thomas Bosmel on goal to Teddy Gaudiche in front, including Florian Suzanne and Benjamin Morel, who takes on Team B as coach. Thierry Traoré, Mondeville coach:
There is always a regret to leave between people of good company, but it was necessary to go further to really set up our project. You had to face the truth and renew yourself.
The USONM is no longer the goose that lays the golden eggs for Caen amateur football. “It’s over, insists general manager Laurent Glaize. We cannot and we do not want to. It was inconsistent in a training project. “The end of a number of commitments made it possible to take action. Mondeville, which had come close to disaster after the departure of its former patron Jacques Pleurmeau (the club had been administratively relegated after finishing second in N3 in 2018), has even reinvented itself.
Departures: Thomas Bosmel, Antoine Prével (stop), Medhi Lecreux (B), Florian Suzanne (Dives-Cabourg), Andy Pinçon, Benjamin Morel (stop, coach B), Teddy Gaudiche (MOS). Arrivals: Gaylor Leplé (ASPTT Caen), Sami Mghinia (Evreux), Edouard Ozanne (ASPTT Caen), Gilles Ibebe (MOS), Dhiaeddine Araiedh (MOS), Alban Bekombo (MOS), Samuel Nkoua (Flers), Iso N’Diaye (Flers ), Haïlé Diouf (Villers-Houlgate).
Cleaner finances
The approach operates in a context of sound finances. “For the first time in a long time, we ended the season in the positive,” says Laurent Glaize. The credit goes to our president (Claude Gherardi, editor’s note), who has put 250,000 euros out of his pocket over the past two years so that the club does not disappear. “
While Mondeville was spending almost a million euros when the madness of grandeur had taken hold of him, the budget today is in the region of 330,000 euros. And the possibility of meeting financial criteria in the event of a sporting accession even becomes credible.
We have possible solutions in case we are eligible. We will not refuse a climb.
However, do not imagine that Mondeville is repositioning itself as a declared candidate for National 3. “We cannot prevent the players from being ambitious,” said Laurent Glaize. But the prospects of the club take other contours. “Go up to N3 to do what?” “

Longer-term National 2 desires
Mondeville no longer wants a short-term vision. The ambition is displayed over several years, The rejuvenation of the troops, surrounded by “executives who return to the project”, is a key stage. Laurent Glaize:
Our project is over five years. He understands the rise in National 3 and why not, one day, in National 2. But we don’t want to do that anyhow. You have to be tough in every way.
On this journey, recruits arriving in the spring must register over time. Many of these players take on the role of educator. “It builds their loyalty and allows them to find another form of financing. It is also ideal for applying the precepts learned in the first team.
Budget redistribution
One of USONM’s stated priorities is the training of educators. Thierry Traoré, himself loaded with diplomas in coach training, is best placed to talk about it.
We are suffering the dividends of the old project which had committed funds at the expense of training. The end of the contracts allows us to have another reflection insofar as it allows us to redistribute a good part of the budget for the teaching team.
The new-look Mondeville wants to focus on “how to teach football.” The urge to take the time to build “solid foundations” outweighs “wins at all costs”. Thierry Traoré:
For some, we were an extraordinary club in Regional 1. Today, it’s not that we want to be in the standard. We just want to go where others do not go in our training process.
Emphasis on the state of mind
In order for its primary team to be the expected locomotive of the steps taken, the USONM “prioritized the state of mind”. Thierry Traoré wants “good teammates, conquering players, enthusiastic men”. Mondeville must make people want again.
I hope we can show the face of a positive team with positive football.
Concretely, this desire resulted in a recruitment combining “a little more speed, especially offensively” and “a little more accuracy and daring at the start of situations”. Not so far from the climb last season despite a disappointing exercise (“if we do not play the match against MOS when many games are postponed, we are in N3″), Mondeville aspires to find what he lacked : cohesion. “It will take time because we still have nine recruits, but I find the group balanced. ”
