Even if Arnaud Ponroy refused to confirm, yesterday, the successor of Fred Bougeant as coach of Nantes AHB, will be the Danish Allan Heine.

"Who tells you that it will not be a woman?", Had fun commenting on the president of the club in Nantes. I said that I will not be communicating until December 1st, our choice being for a contracted technician until November 30th. "

But the suspense is no longer appropriate. Denmark's television channel TV2 Sport has announced that the former Viborg coach, dismissed in September after a disappointing start to the season, will take over the reins of NAHB.

Allan Heine (38) has led a Viborg team for the past three seasons, having previously won three Champions Leagues. This will be the first experience abroad of this Dane who personally has not won any title as a coach. His take-up should not take place until around 10 December.
