Ligue 1 – Bordeaux – End of the game between the Girondins de Bordeaux and Paulo Sousa


Ligue 1 – Bordeaux

It had been written for a while now, it will be official in the coming hours: Paulo Sousa and the Girondins de Bordeaux have reached an agreement to ratify the departure of the Portuguese technician.

It is therefore against the Stade de Reims on Saturday that Paulo Sousa led the Girondins for the last time. And it is with a 4-0 success that the Portuguese technician will have completed his mandate at the head of the Navy and White. The epilogue of a soap opera which began on July 2 is about to fall: Sousa will not be Bordeaux’s coach this season. The technician (49 years old) arrived on the Gironde bench on March 8, 2019. Main reason for this departure? The Portuguese coach believes that he does not have sufficient means to carry out the sports policy he wants and achieve the goals set by his leaders. The two parties have reached a financial agreement to end their collaboration. As we announced on FF, the management of the Girondins had already made an offer more than ten days ago to his now ex-coach. Offer refused on Friday July 31 but has since been accepted. We are talking about an amount equivalent to eight months’ salary.

Gasset and Roche approaching

Less than two weeks before the resumption scheduled for Saturday, August 22 with the reception of FC Nantes, Frédéric Longuépée, the CEO, will have to quickly find a replacement for the two-time winner of the 1996 and 1997 Champions League. The name most frequently cited ? That of Jean-Louis Gasset (66 years old) accompanied by Ghislain Printant, who already assisted him in Saint-Etienne from December 2017 to May 2019. Jean-Louis Gasset knows the Château du Haillan well for having been, from 2007 to 2010 , Laurent Blanc’s deputy in Gironde. Three years which were marked by a title of champion of France in 2009, a Coupe de la Ligue, still in 2009, two Champions Trophy in 2008 and 2009 as well as a quarter-final of C1 in 2010 against Lyon (1- 3, 1-0). Another position on which Bordeaux management has advanced: that of sports director. The replacement for Eduardo Macia, fired on July 24, has a good chance of being Alain Roche. Trained at the club in the early 1980s and player from 1985 to 1989 and from 2000 to 2002, the native of Brive (52) already held this position at PSG from 2006 to 2011. The officialization should take place early next week .
