A little more than a year after his arrival at the head of the La Roche-sur-Yon (N3) club, the former professional player Philippe Violeau, 49 years old, decided to withdraw.
"I do not live in La Roche-sur-Yon and it is true that distance is a real handicap for managing the club, explained this Friday the former pro, passed by Niort, Auxerre and Lyon, in the columns of Ouest-France . There was a real request from some people in the club for me to get more involved. Unfortunately, today, given the distance and my professional commitments, I cannot meet these expectations. "
Violeau ends his legal fight
It was however a real homecoming for Philippe Violeau. And for good reason: the one who won 4 titles of champion of France (1 with Auxerre in 1996 and 3 with OL in 2001, 2002 and 2003) was born in Challans and lived very young in Froidfond in the 85.
Before definitively turning the page of Yonnaise, Violeau pursues his legal fight and claims the rise of his future ex-club in N2 [La Roche-sur-Yon finished first in his group before the end of the championships, but according to the mode of calculation of the FFF, Châteaubriant is promoted]. The Vendée club is currently coached by ex-Canary, Charles Devineau.
