- Croatian goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic, as well as a new physical trainer, Guillaume Ravé (ex-Laval and Monaco), participated in their first training with the TFC on Tuesday.
- Baptiste Reynet had been absent in goals until then, with no official reason.
Its 2.01 m did not go unnoticed this Tuesday morning, with the twenty loyal supporters present on the Ramier Island, under a sky as dark as the future of the red lantern in Ligue 1. The day after its loaned by Aston Villa, Croatian goalkeeper Lovre Kalinic participated in his first training with the TFC, which remains on a disastrous series of eleven official games lost.
Sunday, the 2018 vice-world champion (29, 19 caps), who dreams of Euro 2020, should make his French debut in Lyon. A cursed place for Toulouse, since the Violets have not won in the Rhône since 1966.
⁉️ Did you know?
@ToulouseFC have a goal difference of -23 after their first 20 league games.
The worst in its history at this stage of the competition.

After having conceded 44 goals in 20 days, will Baptiste Reynet sit on the bench at Parc OL? This Tuesday, the future ex-number 1 Toulouse was not present on the lawn of the technical center of the Stadium, no more than his usual lining Mauro Goicoechea. But while the Uruguayan was treating his adductors in the infirmary, recently joined by Yaya Sanogo (shoulder), Nicolas Isimat-Mirin (knee) and Kalidou Sidibé (pubalgia operation), Reynet was simply absent.
Reynet returns Wednesday, says Zanko
Denis Zanko did not provide a medical certificate. "He will resume tomorrow [Wednesday]", simply assured after a studious two-hour session the third coach of the TFC this season (club record).
One can imagine the embarrassment of the successor of Alain Casanova and Antoine Kombouaré. For his first match in L1 at 55, on January 11 against Brest, the technician had decided to entrust the captaincy to the former porter of Dijon, pending the return of injury from the usual armband wearer, Max-Alain Gradel . After the sinking (2-5), Zanko had justified himself: “It was a choice that seemed obvious to me, because he is a boy with an irreproachable state of mind. "

Ten days and a decision of the management later, Reynet is not even titular any more and could leave by the end of the transfer window, on January 31. According to L'Equipe , the Drômois learned of Kalinic's arrival in the media and experienced it particularly badly.
Guillaume Ravé, Zanko's Mayenne sector
Besides the Croatian, second recruit of the winter after the Norwegian central defender Ruben Gabrielsen and before a midfielder ready to go up in the purple galley, there was another new head Tuesday on the lawn. Guillaume Ravé attended most of the observer training, notepad in hand, before taking charge of the group at the very end of the session, for online sprints. This 35-year-old physical trainer succeeds Michel Dufour, who arrived in mid-October with Kombouaré.
For the time being, the technician who passed through Laval (where he worked with Zanko) from 2007 to 2018, then by the Monaco reserve, discovers the workforce, replenished on Tuesday by the feedback from injury from striker Wesley Saïd and of defender Mathieu Gonçalves. The new member of staff now knows that Sylla is named Issiaga, since he asked the left side of Guinea.
Long renowned for its stability, the TFC is now a club in perpetual motion, which does not really know where it is going, even if it is probably towards Ligue 2.
