A shadowy man in 93.
Red Star has announced the appointment of Grégory Dupont as club football directorthis Tuesday. This man with the name of Mr. Everyman is not just anyone in French football: he is a reference in the world of sports trainers. As evidenced by his nice CV: a 2018 world champion title with the France team, where he was part of Didier Deschamps' staff, and also a stint at Real Madrid alongside Zinédine Zidane, among other experiences.
A milestone to pass far from Breton ports
He carried out an audit last November at Stade Rennes for two weeks, before being cited to join Habib Beye's potential staff in Nantes, where Antoine Kombouaré ultimately remained in post. “I had offers from clubs Ligue 1, but as a physical trainer, he explains in comments reported by The Parisian. But I had reached a point in my career where it was the right time to take a step forward and see something else. After my two experiences as a physical trainer in the French team and at Real Madrid, it's difficult to go above and beyond. »
Patrice Haddad, the president of the club, explains and clarifies its role while displaying ambitions in the long term: « Few people among us have this high-level experience. So we went looking for someone who will save us time. He will be in the analysis, the support of the staff who are requesting and the setting up of the training center which we want to make very strong. Our center must become Red Star's war chest for the next ten years. »
-There is still work to be done to become the most famous Dupont in France.
