One defeat too many for FC Rouen and its very impatient president Iwan Postel. The Norman club, beaten this Friday on the DFCO pitch and which occupies 14th place in the ranking after the 11th day of the National, immediately announced the “sidelining” of its coach Maxime d'Ornano.
The latter had brought the Red Devils back to 3rd national level. Last year, Rouen struggled at the top of the rankings all season, despite extra-sporting penalties, while having a fantastic run in the French Cup.
