Bernard Goutta will be the future manager of US Carcassonne. He will take the reins of the pennant team this Tuesday, after the Aude derby against Narbonne, this Friday (7:30 p.m.).
According to information from Rugbyrama, which an internal source at the club confirmed to us, Bernard Goutta will indeed be the next manager of Carcassonne. The technician gave his agreement this Thursday morning to the leaders of USC for an eighteen-month mission (the end of this season and the next) which will begin Tuesday, December 3, after this Friday's derby against Narbonne, therefore.
L'Indépendant revealed that the former USAP forwards coach had been received on Tuesday afternoon at the club's headquarters, which president Benoît Mestre confirmed 24 hours later: “We received it to discuss, to exchange. Obviously, nothing was done, nothing was signed. For the moment, there is not even a question of anything. Simply, we talked, I I'm not going to deny it.”
If USC hoped to formalize the name of its future manager after this Friday's Aude derby against Narbonne, it should indeed be Bernard Goutta. This Friday on the USC bench, the staff will be made up of Mehadji Tidjini and Andreï Ursache who took over as interim this week.
Bernard Goutta coached the Perpignan forwards in the Top 14 (2007-2012), managed Colomiers in Pro D2 (2012-2017), coached the Clermont-Ferrand forwards in the Top 14 (2017-2021) before managing Agen in Pro D2 (2021-2023).
