In a role of peacemaker… between irreconcilable people.
Philippe Mao, FCN sports coordinator, gave an interview to
Ouest-France on
Friday to try to restore order in the yellow house.
At the start of the week, Stéphane Ziani pointed out a dysfunction between the training and the coach of the pros, Christian Gourcuff.
The U19 coach had said in
20 Minutes
: “The management of young people by Christian Gourcuff is catastrophic.
The guys all want to get out!
"
The Breton technician had defended himself at length by denouncing remarks "harmful to the club and of great awkwardness" and by explaining that he had never been able to set up his sporting project for the FCN in front of the reluctance of Training.
In support of Christian Gourcuff
Philippe Mao, requested by
20 Minutes
Thursday, but who had not wished to speak, first condemns "a regrettable media outlet".
“Such a slippage must not happen again,” he thunders.
He then claims that Stéphane Ziani has been "reframed".
Above all, the sports coordinator shows his support for Christian Gourcuff.
“The technical n ° 1, chosen by the president is Christian Gourcuff, who has real experience and a certain background in this position.
He has the full confidence of the management.
"
Before putting a small tackle to the educators of the center: “It is also up to the trainers, whose project is very interesting, to hear what the coach of the pro team can bring.
They don't have all the truths.
