Reims: Jean-Pierre Caillot knocks Oscar Garcia out – Foot Mercato

We learned a little earlier in the day, Oscar Garcia was dismissed from his position as Stade de Reims coach. Absent from the bench against PSG last weekend for personal reasons, he will have finally had his last match on the Champagne bench against Troyes on October 2. It is his now ex-assistant, the Belgian William Still who takes over, at least until the truce leading to the World Cup. Jean-Pierre Caillot, the president of Reims explained his choice in the columns of L’Union and he does not spare the Spanish technician, responsible according to him for this bad sporting situation. “We cannot jeopardize the future of 250 employees, begins the leader, visibly very upset. Our relationship has been complicated for several months and it is clear that we were no longer on the same wavelength. The end of the last season was painful to live. The follow-up after this advertisement “We only won two matches at Delaune in 2022 against a sick Bordeaux and thanks to an exploit by our captain Yunis Abdelhamid. The result of mediocre services, very far from what we expected given the quality of our workforce. We have with Ito, Balogun and Zeneli three attackers that everyone envies us, but who have only been aligned once at the same time: in Angers, for our only victory so far. We delayed this deadline as much as possible, but the expected revival was slow to appear and it had become inevitable that the investments made did not lead to much, that our heavy investments were not exploited. Before moving to Lorient this weekend, the Stade de Reims occupies 15th place in Ligue 1.
