Since the offseason, Didier Salles has agreed to return to the role of sports director of USC Football. “I am passionate about football. This sport has given me a lot… and I have given it a lot. I live in Colomiers and Colomiers is my favorite club. When Ahmed (Aït-Ali) asked me, I accepted. For me it is a pleasure to be able to be useful.
So what is the mission of the sports director?
“I am the interface between the steering committee, its president, and the senior team made up of the coach of the men’s pennant team and his staff and the reserve and U19 National teams. I must be available to the staff, to the players, for the communication of the club, for the interests of the club”. Currently Didier Salles defends the club he considers cheated in the Coupe de France. During the match against Vierzon, the latter club had, in its squad, a player who did not have all the authorizations.
Have you already held this position in the club?
“In the past, during his presidency, Patrick Sacrispeyre called me. I was in charge of recruitment and the link with the flag team, and its coach at the time Frédéric Pons. I collaborated on the accession to the CFA I had previously been a coach of the youth teams.
Are you going to be unfaithful to the club next?
“My ideas not being in agreement with those of the new coach, I stopped before responding to a request from the Blagnac club first as coach then sports director before taking a break.”
You are back at USC. What are your expectations today?
“First of all, I hope that the enormous investment of coaches, staff and players will be rewarded with a place at the top of the table. I hope that the fluidity of the workforce in the senior division for which I have opted will be a plus It facilitates the progress of young people called up to the flag team and it plays an economic role in promoting the loyalty of these players. I believe in this group, I believe in the work that is done there. wishes everyone a good recovery and good results at the end of the season.
