The Arlesian coach is paying the price for his poor results in the league, even though his team is playing the first national round of the Coupe de France this Sunday in Valencia.
Surprise in the Camargue: still in the running in the Coupe de France, AC Arles will travel to the Drôme this Sunday to challenge Olympique Valence, but it will be without Mathias Lozano. The coach of the flagship team, which plays in Regional 1, was asked to leave his position during the week. It is therefore Youssef Bouzar who will be at the head of the squad which will go up the Rhône on Sunday, with serious chances of completing this first national round. According to our information, Lozano and his management were in deep disagreement over the club's sporting policy.
“This decision has nothing to do with the French Cup, specifies President Mourad Amara. It was in the championship where the results became tricky. And we deviated from our roadmap“. With only one success in six matches played, the ambitious Arlesian club had to lower its ambitions: while it was hoped for an accession at the end of the season at the start of the financial year, it is now a question of saving which can be. Nothing prohibitive for the Camarguais, who had carried out an ambitious recruitment Symbol of this optimism, they had posed on the square of the town hall with great fanfare with the councilor, Patrick de Carolis.
“It's not an electric shock, we need to relaunch a dynamic“, insists Mourad Amara.
