New challenge for the Policeman! La Berrichonne de Châteauroux has appointed Cris as new coach, succeeding Patrice Lair, who left his position unexpectedly. The 47-year-old Brazilian's mission is to turn around a team in great difficulty, because Châteauroux occupies last place in the National championship, with seven defeats out of nine matches.
After GOAL FC, Le Mans and Versailles
Cris, whose last coaching experience dates back more than a year, began his career on the bench in National 2 with GOAL FC. He then coached Le Mans FC in the National for 18 months, but his disappointing results led him to leave the club. He bounced back in November 2022 with Versailles, but his adventure ended at the end of the 2022-2023 season. As a player, Cris enjoyed a successful career, notably at Olympique Lyonnais, where he won four French championship titles. He joins Châteauroux in an unstable context, marking the eighth coaching appointment since the club's descent to National in 2021.
