A year and a half after his departure from Amiens, Philippe Hinschberger could well find a position in Ligue 2. The experienced coach would be on the shortlist of one of his former clubs, in order to replace another technician who passed through Picardy. Explanations.
Hinschberger back in Ligue 2?
While coaches are dropping like flies this week, with the dismissals of Thierry Laurey and Oswald Tanchot, another former Amiens SC coach could take the opportunity to return to service. Free since Niort filed for bankruptcy, Philippe Hinschberger is one of the avenues considered by the leaders of the GF38 according to our colleagues from Grenoble Foot Info. When contacted, the 65-year-old technician claimed to have no contact with the Isère club, without denying an interest in a return to the Grenoble bench.
Posted in Grenoble between 2018 and 2021, Philippe Hinschberger notably qualified the club for the accession playoffs during his last season in Isère. And despite some friction on the line during his departure, due to poorly received comments about the city of Grenoble, Philippe Hinschberger maintains a real popularity rating within the clubs and with supporters according to our Grenoble colleagues. Obviously keen to return to familiar ground, the leaders of GF38 would also have probed Laurent Peyreladeauthor of a rather convincing interim performance last spring.
As is often the case in this type of situation, there is no shortage of spontaneous applications. And Maxime d’Ornanorecently sacked by FC Rouen, would have offered his services. However, Grenoble would not have retained his profile, wishing to bet on a more experienced tactician to allow Grenoble to get back on track after seven consecutive matches (2 draws) without a victory.
