Journalist
After trying different sports, Thibault turned to a career as an amateur footballer. When making a choice between becoming a professional footballer and a journalist, the qualities tipped the scales to one side. Here he is now in the editorial team of 10 Sport, after a diploma obtained at the International Institute of Communication in Paris.
Today, Fabien Galthié is still the coach of the French XV, with a contract running until the 2027 World Cup. His departure from the Blues should therefore not happen soon, but the fact remains that his position is the object of desire. Recently, it was Ronan O’Gara who expressed his interest in the XV of France. Which could give rise to a historic first. Explanations.
Following the elimination of the French XV in the quarter-finals of the World Cup, some questions arose about the future of Fabien Galthié. They were then quickly dissipated by the boss of the FFRwho had confirmed his coach in his functions. Under contract until the 2027 World Cup, Galthié should therefore go away soon. However, the battle for his succession already interests some. Starting with Ronan O’Garacurrent coach of La Rochelle.
O’Gara dreams of the XV of France
Former emblematic player of theIreland, Ronan O’Gara decided to retrain as a coach. Thus, since 2019, he has been at the head of La Rochelle. But at 47, he has no shortage of ambitions and would like to look higher, perhaps taking charge of a selection. So, recently, O’Gara had notably explained: “ There are some positions I would bite some hands off for. Usually it comes by itself if you are good enough with your club. I think everyone should have these kinds of ambitions because you have to be the best you can be. (…) Without wanting to lack humility, I would prefer Ireland, England or France ». Ronan O’Gara could he then be the next coach of the XV of France ?
A first foreigner at the head of the Blues?
If this were the case, it would be historic for the XV of France. While many nations do not hesitate to call on foreign coaches, in Francethis has never been the case until now. We thus find Fabien Galthié, Jacques Brunel, Philippe Saint-André, Bernard Laporte, Marc Liévremont, Guy Novès, Pierre Berbizier, Fernand Cazenave, Jean Desclaux, Daniel Dubroca, Jacques Fouroux, Jean Prat et Jean-Claude Skrelaall were French. A tradition which could therefore change in the event of the arrival of Ronan O’Garahe the Irishman.
