The 17th and final day of the first leg in Ligue 2 was fatal for a coach. And it's a little surprise.
Clearly, the curse continues for Mathieu Chabert. Appointed to the bench of AC Ajaccio (Ligue 2) last summer, the coach previously worked for Béziers, Bastia, Châteauroux, Dunkirk, Le Mans was dismissed from his duties this Saturday January 4, 2025.
AC Ajaccio (Ligue 2) in the red at all levels
It pays for the difficult season of the Corsican club, relegated to L2 and again beaten on home soil yesterday by Annecy (1-2). Also faced with financial problems with a threat of administrative demotion at the end of the season, the ACA decided to entrust the interim on the bench to Thierry Debès. The historic goalkeeper will probably guide the Corsican horns during the derby against Bastia, next Friday at Furiani. A real baptism of fire!
The Corsican club press release
“The club and the coach met this morning at the Michel Moretti stadium. The decision to terminate the contract was taken by mutual agreement. AC Ajaccio highlights the determination of Mathieu Chabert throughout his career with the club. The interim head of the first team will be Thierry Debes. Arriving at the club in 2007, Thierry Debes has always upheld the values of the ACA. First on the field as a goalkeeper for five seasons (156 matches) then within the technical staff in which he has worked since 2013. Thierry Debes had taken over an interim role in 2014. He had managed to set in motion a positive dynamic with the team winning three times. The upcoming matches will be crucial for the future of the club, we call on all of the White and Red components to unite behind the staff and players in the maintenance mission”we can read in the press release from the Ligue 2 club.
