Stade Toulousain and Ugo Mola, It’s a story that continues to be written.. According to Le Figaro, the Rouge et Noir coach is on the verge of extending his contract with the club until 2031. He is currently contracted until 2027.
Excellent news for the Toulouse giant, as Mola's contribution since taking office is undeniable : four Brennus and two European Cups, just that. But one detail of the contract attracts particular attention.
A clause with a view to 2027
According to the information revealed, a special clause could allow Ugo Mola to leave his post at the end of the 2027 season. A condition which takes on its full meaning when looking at the calendar: 2027 will mark the end of Fabien Galthié's second mandate at the head of the XV of France. The French Rugby Federation could then see Mola as a natural successor.
This strategic option is far from trivial. Mola, often mentioned as the ideal candidate for the position of coach, enjoys immense odds thanks to his sense of the game and his human management.
If Mola has always affirmed his attachment to Stade Toulousain, he does not close the door on his ambition either. Last September, he spoke of his interest in the XV of France, while flirting with the idea of a challenge abroad. But this possible departure in 2027 remains conditional on a proposal from the FFR, which is not yet a certainty.
A winning choice for the Stadium and Mola
For Stade Toulousain, the extension of Mola until 2031 offers valuable stability. For the technicianthis clause allows it to calmly consider a future national challengewithout compromising his commitment to the club.
It remains to be seen whether, after Australia 2027, Ugo Mola will choose the Blues. One thing is certain: French rugby could still benefit from the talent of this outstanding coach.
