On Monday, Thierry Laurey was suspended from his duties by the club’s management. While waiting for his replacement, Ibrahim Rachidi, one of his deputies, is acting in the interim. The former Comorian international said he wanted to “wash heads” after this complicated period.
His stay will certainly be brief, but he intends to do his best to help the team and the club. After the suspension of Thierry Laurey, Ibrahim Rachidi was appointed to make the transition until a new tactician was appointed at the head of the blood and gold group.
“It would be pretentious to say that in two or even a week, I will put my paw, admits the former assistant of Thierry Laurey and Greg Poirier. The most important thing is to wash the heads. We are preparing for the Coupe de France match in the best possible way while also trying to restore confidence in the group. The mental aspect is the most important.”
“There was a need for change for everyone”
And “relieved“seems like a strong word to him, Samir Belloumou assures that “renewal” was necessary. The FCM midfielder is delighted to see the interim provided by the one the players have nicknamed “Bouillon” for a long time now.
“He knows us particularly well. He was a player, he knows what it’s like“, he explains. “The most important thing is to make ourselves comfortable. The players who were perhaps a little restricted or something else, be released and play their football.”
The FCM travels to Bourgoin-Jallieu, National 3 team, this Saturday for the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France.
