Eight months before the next World Cup organized in England, the future of the French women’s XV is a cause for concern. The results are far from up to par for a team which, not long ago, was comfortably installed in the top 3 in the world. Now off the podium and penultimate in the “WXV” which took place this fall, the Blues are asking questions. On the FFR side, we would even consider strengthening the staff. One thing is now certain: it will not be with David Attoub, whose name was circulated by mistake.
With only one victory in three matches played in September as part of the “Women XV”, theThe girls of the XV of France are far from keeping their promises and meet expectations. Worse, the next 6 Nations Tournament promises to be high risk with three trips to Ireland, Italy and… England, the overwhelming favorite to win the world crown on home soil.
Attoub will not leave his post
Faced with the emergency, the idea of strengthening the technical staff led by Gaëlle Mignot and David Ortiz is being debated behind the scenes. As revealed today by Olympic Middaythe Federation is considering the opportunity to appoint a manager to support the coaching tandem. But it will not be David Attoub, contrary to what we have written. The former international pillar (4 caps), who became coach of Lou in charge of the scrum and more recently named manager of the Lyon women’s team, will not leave his position during the season. If his name was able to circulate in certain circles more or less close to the Blues, the matter went no further. False lead.
We will have to wait a little longer before knowing whether or not the Blue staff will be reinforced and by whom. The path leading to a club coach nevertheless seems unlikely… One thing is certain, with the Tournament and preparation for the World Cup fast approaching, this subject should be resolved quickly on the federation side.
