The event is rare enough for a press conference to be held on Monday evening. Grace Zaadi had great news to report. After ten years at MetzHandball, the playmaker has announced her departure for Rostov at the end of the season.
The semi-center, 2017 world and 2018 European champion with the Blue ones, will have its first experience abroad in Russia. In a top-notch club since Rostov played the last final of the Champions League, and incidentally lost it against Györ.
Metz in a new era
“This is the right time in my career and in my life as a woman. I always wanted to have an experience in another championship, but not accept anything. I had other proposals, including one from Metz handball, but it looked good for Rostov, "said the 26-year-old, who arrived in Lorraine at 17. Where she has already won seven titles of champion of France and of which she took the captaincy these last seasons, after the retirement of Nina Kanto.
For the Moselle club, a page will turn in June. Before Zaadi, the internationals Laura Glauser (Györ), Laura Flippes (Paris 92) and Marion Maubon (Nantes) had already announced their departure at the end of the season. And the cases of trainer Emmanuel Mayonnade, also at the end of his contract in the spring, and the German star Xenia Smits, have not yet been settled. The latter is currently injured, as is her partner Manon Houette, who suffered a cruciate ligament rupture on Sunday. The left wing will be absent for six months and could even miss the Olympics this summer in Tokyo.
