Soccer. N2: Briochin Pierre-Yves David in maintenance operation in Chartres

Pierre-Yves David, who had raised the Eurelian club from DH to CFA 2 between 2009 and 2011, has returned to the controls of Chartres since the beginning of November. The native of Saint-Brieuc succeeded Jean-Pierre Papin, who became adviser to the president of OM. He finds a club now in turmoil despite the ambitions of accessions in National, of which Versailles, Nantes or the Stade Briochin deprived him of it in previous seasons.

After the withdrawal of five points in the league at the beginning of December by the DNGC (the financial policeman of football), the Chartrains joined a relegation zone welcoming six clubs this season. “This decision came at the wrong time. We remained in the bitterness of this decision and the defeat against Blois two days later, ”rewound the Chartrain coach to Roudourou last weekend.

So, this point of draw against the reserve of En Avant was the starting point for a maintenance mission that promises to be daunting, Chartres occupying 14th place in the standings, six points behind the first non-relegation player. Pierre-Yves David took positives from this meeting on Costa Rican soil. “I liked the general state of mind of the boys, we see physical progress because it is a group which had not worked much on this aspect before my arrival. In this match, we managed to exist for 90 minutes, which was impossible before at an athletic level”. It will take at least as much next Saturday for the Briochin squad, which has only one victory in the last eleven games, to continue the operation to keep the Rouen leader on the field.
