This is the other hot topic of the moment at UBB with the extension or not of Matthieu Jalibert.
At the end of the contract in 2023 as its opener, will Christophe Urios extend the adventure in Bordeaux?
As usual, the Bordeaux manager did not escape when discussing this subject on Tuesday.
"I'll be frank, today I have not made my decision and above all, this is not the time to take it," he says.
He did say a little more.
Christophe Urios said he would make his decision by the end of the calendar year.
“It's not an easy decision to make.
Four years (the duration of his contract) is already not bad!
Apart from Oyonnax, I haven't often done several cycles, ”explains the boss of Union Bordeaux-Bègles.
"I have the impression of having arrived here yesterday"
In Bordeaux, its president, Laurent Marti, has already expressed his desire to see his manager stay.
A manager with whom the club has taken on a new dimension until it knows three semi-finals last season, Top 14 and European Cups combined.
So what parameters will tip the scales?
"I have to know if I am still the right person to advance this club and if for me personally, there is a challenge to take up, explains Christophe Urios, I feel like I arrived here yesterday unlike Castres where I decided to go because I had been around.
