• The Girondins de Bordeaux are sinking deeper into the crisis every day.

  • In an attempt to redress the bar, the club has decided to dismiss two players (Zerkane and Baysse) and wish to terminate the contract of Laurent Koscielny, its captain.

  • In this ambient slump, Vladimir Petkovic is still there.

    But the situation of the Bordeaux coach is more and more tense.

    He no longer has the right to make mistakes.

It's called shaking the coconut tree! And not just a little. This is what Admar Lopes, the technical director of the Girondins de Bordeaux, has been doing for two days. The big boss of the sportsman decided to bang on the table while the club does not stop sinking (17th in Ligue 1 with three victories in 20 games) and has just suffered a historic defeat against OM (0- 1). And that spares no one, not even the captain of the team and former French international, Laurent Koscielny.

The defender is now pushed towards the exit. If he was not sidelined, Laurent Koscielny has started negotiations with the club in recent hours to find an amicable agreement. At the moment T, he is still training with the professional group: "We will see day by day, how the negotiations are going", affirms a person close to the file. He could even still wear the Girondins jersey next Sunday in Rennes. However, this will no longer be the case after January 31 and the end of the transfer window. There are now several scenarios on the table: he finds an amicable agreement with Bordeaux and terminates his contact, or he accepts his reconversion within the club six months in advance, or he leaves the Girondins for a other club. At 36, he will not complete his contract. Behind that,there is also the desire of management to part with their biggest salary.

Winter sales

This Tuesday, the only two players excluded from the pro group remain Paul Baysse and Medhi Zerkane.

For the first, it is a problem of confidentiality which would be at the origin of its setting aside.

The defender, who had just returned from a rupture of the cruciate ligaments, simply indicated on his Twitter account: "When you want to kill your dog, you say he has rabies".

Atmosphere.

For the second, it is a lack of professionalism that is criticized, and in particular the fact of having refused to play in the Coupe de France despite two negative tests for Covid-19 when the club was affected by a cluster, specifies

L ' Team.

Other players are also invited to find a way out: Samuel Kalu, Josh Maja and Otavio.

All three are no longer part of the project of the new management.

According to information from

20 Minutes,

the first one should leave quickly.

The Girondins de Bordeaux and Watford are very close to an agreement.

The Nigerian striker could join the current 17th in the Premier League for the sum of 3 or 4 million euros.

Petkovic has run out of cartridges

In this large garage sale, where is the situation of Vladimir Petkovic, the trainer of the Navy and White?

While his female colleague, Patrice Lair, was thanked this Tuesday according to

Sud Ouest,

can he also take the door?

For now, he retains the support of his management.

But this one is less and less strong.

Unlike a few weeks ago when Gérard Lopez, himself, said that the question of his replacement did not arise, the situation has changed a bit.

Today, the former Switzerland coach is clearly under pressure.

His position may very quickly become untenable in the event of further poor results in Rennes on Sunday and especially against Strasbourg and Reims.
