Appointed in interim to replace Stéphane Jobard, ousted by Dijon on November 5 because of the club's poor results (current last in L1 with 4 points), David Linarès was finally confirmed in his role.

It has been said that this is how it works.

The former assistant to Stéphane Jobard arrived in 2005 at DFCO where he played 143 Ligue 2 games in six years.

In Dijon, he spent his coaching diplomas and led the club's women's team in division 2 then the reserve team before being appointed assistant coach of professionals under the era of Olivier Dall'Oglio (2018).
