Every day, the franceinfo junior program breaks down the news at children’s level, on the microphone of presenter Jules de Kiss on franceinfo radio.

To ask the questions, we listen to CM2 students from the Saint-Sébastien school in Paris. While the World Championship handball starts on Tuesday January 14, 2025, we talk about it with a professional coach, he works at the Tremblay club in the first division, he is also a handball consultant for the channel The Team and assistant coach of the Democratic Republic of Congo team: Safwan Khoudar.

The students’ first questions talk about the path before becoming a coach: “How many years of study have you studied for a coaching career? Have you ever played” before being a coach?

Then, Octave asks: “What are your hours during the week to be a coach?”

Johann wants to know “how many defeats” he lived and it was hard to live.

Players who participate in the World Championship are detached from their teams during this period. The guest also supervises players from the DRC, a non-qualified country, but training courses take place at that time for these teams.

“Do any good players from Congo play in big European clubs?” Octave asks.

Émile to finish: “Does Congo plan to host the next world handball championships?”
