• Six weeks after being crowned champion of France, the Losc is in the dark.

  • While Christophe Galtier has joined Nice, the club has yet to reveal the name of his successor.

  • A situation that worries the club's followers and supporters

“We have no coaches, we have no players and we have no news from the president.

For a club champion of France which will play the Champions League, it is very worrying ”.

When asked about the situation in Losc, Franck Deffenain, president of a section of Losc supporters, does not hide his question.

While the northern club resumed training this Thursday, July 1, we still do not know the name of Christophe Galtier's successor who officially left for Nice at the start of the week after long negotiations between the two clubs.

A month and a half after its incredible title of champion, the Losc fell back from its cloud.

And the vagueness has given way to euphoria.

"It's really a curious situation and quite annoying"

“It's an atypical situation. I've never known that in my playing career. All the players in the squad need to know what the team is going to look like and what sauce they are going to be eaten. It is really curious as a situation and quite annoying. We thought that things would follow naturally after the officialization of Galtier's departure but this is not the case. All this does not sound very serious. From the outside, it will be perceived as something not very credible, ”said Grégory Tafforeau, former captain of Losc.

While the players started medical and physical tests in Luchin on Thursday, the officials are still in the midst of negotiations.

After Blanc, Favre and Vieira, it would now be Claudio Ranieri who would hold the rope to come and settle on the bench at Losc.

But whoever is the lucky winner, all fans of the club believe that it is more than time to be fixed when the championship already resumes in five weeks.

The subscription campaign has not yet been launched

“What is good is that Letang (president of Losc) did not give up, defended the club and obtained a good compensation (estimated at around 5M €) for the departure of Galtier. Conversely, all this delayed the rest. If the name of the successor is recorded at the end of the week, that will be fine. But if nothing happens by next week, we will really start to worry, ”hopes Antoine Meeschaert, president of the Mastiffs of Honor, a group of Losc supporters.

Same feeling with François Stock, responsible for the Mastiffs of the Net, who finds that the club is too late in many areas “Beyond the coach, the subscription campaign is still not launched today.

We are told that it will happen but we do not yet have the prices whereas we are usually set at the beginning of June.

Everything is on stand-by, we have no news.

All these elements are disturbing, ”admits the supporter.

Five weeks before the resumption of Ligue 1, Losc has no coach, no recruits, no subscription campaign, or preparation program.

A rare and undoubtedly unique uncertainty for a reigning French champion.
