Matuidi, the big blow of ESTAC?

After changing coaches with the arrival of Bruno Irles to replace Laurent Batlles, ESTAC could follow up with a big blow from the Mercato. According to Foot Mercato and l’Est Eclair, the Aube club would dream of attracting Blaise Matuidi (Inter Miami, 34) but the file promises to be complex. If he will not be selected by his club MLS, Troyes must face competition from Gulf clubs like Al Gharafa. This winter, ESTAC intends to recruit four players: a central defender, a midfielder, a lane striker and a goalscorer.

Nicholas Gioacchini, loaned with option to buy by Caen? “If the coach makes him play, it is because he is happy with it. We don’t have time to analyze whether we lift the option or not.

There are ongoing discussions… ”Finally, concerning the cases of Junior Sambia and Mihailo Ristic, the Montpellier president also played fair:“ Junior, we tried 3 or 4 months ago to discuss with his agent. There were financial proposals that were a little too important for us so at this moment, it is the status quo. For Mihailo, we will discuss as we will discuss with others. We will already see if he wants to stay in Montpellier and if he has not signed elsewhere. We will exchange. As with Junior, we are not closed on anything.

AS Monaco, ESTAC: the leaders justify themselves for Kovac and Batlles

AS Monaco and ESTAC surprised many people by changing coaches during the break. At the time of enthroning Philippe Clément (in the Principality) and Bruno Irles (in the Aube), the leaders finally justified themselves.

For Monaco, the sporting director Paul Mitchell spoke of insufficient results: “” We did a long analysis after Rennes and we felt that the objectives would be difficult to achieve. We had to change to give ourselves the best chances. We have not appeared once in the top 5 this season, while the strong support of the shareholder allowed us not to lose key players, which should have given us a head start to be efficient from the first day ”.

In Troyes, the executive chairman Aymeric Magne highlights the diverging points of view: “We wanted to do a mid-season review with Laurent, the shareholders and François Vitali, to see where we stood (…) We analyzed our summer transfer window. There have been good things and not so good, we are aware of that. Suddenly, we discussed with Laurent the vision of the club, that of our shareholders, our vision and we had a lot of disagreements on the future. In this context, we took our responsibilities on both sides ”.
