• Grégory Cojean has been, since 2019, sports director and assistant coach of H.

  • He will become head coach during the 2022-2023 season.

    In disagreement with his direction, Alberto Entrerrios will leave.

He knows the club like the back of his hand since he has been playing there for sixteen years.

Grégory Cojean, 44, has been officially appointed head coach of HBC Nantes from next season (July 2022), club management announced on Wednesday.

Present on the bench since 2019 as an assistant coach, the native of Saint-Nazaire has signed up for two years.

He will succeed Spaniard Alberto Entrerrios, who let it be known last month that he would not extend the adventure in Nantes beyond June 2022.

“The desire to take up this new challenge is strong and I will give all my energy to continue to grow this club that I love, reacts Grégory Cojean, who also serves as sports director.

I have had many highlights with HBC Nantes and I am very happy to have the opportunity to share others, which I hope will be just as intense, with these exceptional supporters.

A bench and a staff turned upside down

"The choice of Greg to the post of head coach was obvious," said the president of H, Gaël Pelletier, praising the "remarkable work on the training" of the one who was at the origin of the creation of one of the first French handball training centers, in 2006.

Currently second in the Starligue championship and off to a good start in the group stage of the European League, HBC Nantes will therefore have to continue the season with a coach who has already signed up with Limoges and a second who already knows he will become number one.

A curious situation, especially since several important players have also already announced their departure next season (Nielsen, Balaguer, Pechmalbec).

To compensate, several recruits have been formalized (Toto, Maqueda, Odriozola, Hallgrimsson, Pesic).
