Jean-Marc Dupraz is no longer the coach of Limoges CSP. A year and a day after his return, the native of Vénissieux was, according to our information, dismissed as a precautionary measure. A decision taken by the Limougeauds leaders this Monday morning, the day after the rout at home against Portel (98-77). The match that absolutely should not be lost against a direct opponent in the race for maintenance, the Limougeaud club now having only one victory ahead of the Northerners, penultimate in the championship, but who have now there is a good chance of having point-average on the CSP.
Larkas or Leroy at number one?
Jean-Marc Dupraz will finally leave Limoges CSP with a record of 11 victories for 20 defeats in all competitions (11-19 in Betclic Elite) and no success away from Beaublanc. If the Limougeaud club did not wish to comment on the news, according to our information, it would consider trusting Mikko Larkas, JMD assistant who arrived this summer from Strasbourg, and Romain Leroy, to finish the season and obtain this essential maintenance. A pair who have already worked together in Helsinki.
It remains to be seen if Limoges CSP will find a solution to qualify Mikko Larkas who does not have all the equivalences to coach in Betclic Elite due to an administrative problem. Once the choice of coach has been determined, Limoges CSP should seek to adjust its squad and compensate for the departure of Malik Osborne for Rostock.
The future coach of Limoges CSP will in any case have to quickly find the resources necessary to remobilize a group which remains on five consecutive defeats and which will travel this Saturday to Cholet, the leader, before traveling to Chalon and receiving ASVEL. Not easy.
Malik Osborne played well in his last match for Limoges CSP on Sunday against Portel. The American interior is committed to Rostock, 11th in the German championship, whose sports director is none other than Kevin Anstett.
