The Girondins de Bordeaux have chosen David Guion to succeed Vladimir Petkovic and above all save the club from relegation to Ligue 2.
The one who left the Stade de Reims last May should commit to a year and a half with the Marine et Blanc.
In the meantime, the club has still not found a financial agreement with the former coach of the Nati.
So he is the lucky one.
David Guion, 54, was chosen this Wednesday evening by the management of the Girondins de Bordeaux to take over from Vladimir Petkovic and save the Marine et Blanc relegation to Ligue 2. The two parties must now agree on the contractual and financial plan.
A lease of a year and a half is mentioned by a close friend of the club in the scapular.
đź“Š David Guion with Reims
➡️1st season = Champion of L2, best defense,
➡️2nd season = 8th of L1, 4th defense
➡️3rd season = 6th of L1, best defense
➡️4th season = 14th of L1, 8th defense.
If he can bring defensive consistency, I say dac.

Selected among many candidates (Bettoni, Marsch or the Ranieri-Sacramento duo according to
Sud Ouest),
In the end, David Guion had the best profile for Gérard Lopez, the owner and president of the Girondins and his technical director, Admar Lopes: French-speaking, connoisseur of Ligue 1 and especially of the fight for maintenance, defensive solidity of his teams, financially affordable … In short, he ticked many boxes despite, perhaps, a lack of charisma compared to others.
On paper, it is indeed not the flashiest name.
But as a reminder, the one who went through Chambéry and Cannes during his career had left his post in Champagne at the end of last season after nine years of good and loyal service, including four as head coach with a climb to his credit. in Ligue 1 and three comfortable postures.
Solid.
Bompard desired but not (yet) contacted
In Gironde, David Guion will not land with his faithful assistant, Stéphane Dumont, who became the coach of Guingamp last summer.
But he could come with another man recently passed by the Breton club, Frédéric Bompard.
This is the name he slipped to the Bordeaux management according to information from
20 Minutes.
The two men are very good friends and meet regularly in Reims where they live.
It remains to be seen whether the latter will be in favor knowing that he has already refused two offers of this type this season.
This Thursday noon, Frédéric Bompard and his entourage had still not been contacted by the Girondins de Bordeaux, or even by David Guion.
He is currently passing his VAE (validation of acquired experience) to obtain his BEPF (Professional Football Coaching Certificate) next May in order to become a head coach in the short term.
For the record, Frédéric Bompard saved Guingamp from relegation to National last season before leaving the club for lack of sufficient diplomas.
Either way, there's no rush.
Indeed, if the two men are reunited, they will not take their first steps at the Château du Haillan until next Monday.
They will not be on the bench in Lens on Sunday (5 p.m.).
It is the temporary duo made up of Jaroslav Plasil and André Monteiro who will lead the Girondins de Bordeaux.
The two men took over this week from Vladimir Petkovic, laid off by his management on Monday after the new rout suffered… in Reims (0-5).
Petkovic claims between 3.5 and 4 million euros
Since then, there have been no major advances between the club and its now ex-coach.
The former coach of the Nati does not intend to leave empty-handed.
This Wednesday evening, there was no agreement between the two parties.
We are even far from it since the negotiations have not started.
And no one intends to give gifts to the other.
According to information from
20 Minutes,
Vladimir Petkovic is claiming between 3.5 and 4 million euros from the Girondins for his dismissal.
This would represent approximately the two and a half years of salary (150,000 euros per month) that the club still owes him.
GĂ©rard Lopez intends to negotiate this amount with the Swiss.
This is option number 1.
But the president of the Navy and White and his teams are also thinking about an end to the "Bielsa" as at Losc in 2018. That is to say, a dismissal for serious misconduct with an appointment before the Prud'hommes in a few month.
There would have been shortcomings on the part of Vladimir Petkovic.
The club is in any case not necessarily in a hurry to settle this case.
It could also make it possible not to take a euro out of your pocket at first...
