Didier Dinart is no longer officially the coach of the France handball team. The news was confirmed this morning at the Maison du handball by Joël Delplanque, head of the federation, and his DTN, Philippe Bana. It is Guillaume Gille, until now Dinart's right hand, who will take up the torch for the TQO, which will be played in April.
Guillaume Gille: “I have a thought for Didier who is living in a delicate situation. I now have a huge responsibility with the desire to best prepare the TQO. I have a blue soul and I want to measure myself against this challenge. »Pic.twitter.com/CekVrY2kBn
- Benoît Conta (@benoitconta) January 28, 2020"The premature elimination of the French team at the Euro I personally experienced badly and even felt it as a real shock" began Delplanque. “We have started here [in Créteil] the debriefing phase [after elimination]. In this interview, the coaches, and especially Didier, were well aware of the failure that was ours and the need to make a certain number of important decisions. “Starting by thanking Didier Dinart, whom Philippe Bana did not want to overwhelm, recalling that he will surely have a role to play within the Fédé in the future.
“This break shakes us. This relationship breakdown does not detract from what Didier Dinart, one of the greatest coaches of this sport, is. A worthy man, a fighter "
Guillaume Gille on a “commando mission”
No question of sinking the outgoing coach, therefore, not even for Guillaume Gille, whose promotion does not affect loyalty to Dinart. "To make Didier Dinart fail this Euro is absurd," he warned. And to continue, lucid. “In this complicated phase, I am part of an important element to make the transition because I participated in this failure, I worked on it, I got stuck too. "
Gille will have none. The TQO arrives in mid-April, and Delplanque has hinted that the accounts would be made the day after this tournament. In case of failure, there is little illusion as to the future of the new coach. "It is an extremely risky commando mission which must lead us to this Olympic challenge", concludes Bana. Commando mission whose primary goal will be to rebuild a staff and buy back confidence in this team.
