The ax fell this Thursday, January 16. Brothers Gilles and Charly Rotrou, co-presidents of the Union Saint-Astier/Neuvic, have decided to change the staff of the first team, by mutual agreement with Thomas Dupuy and Jérôme Houy.
Their successors are known: Augustin Petrichei, former player of the club and coach of the CA Périgueux Espoirs among others, will be in charge of the forwards and Guillaume Brouqui will put on the cap of player-coach for the back lines. “The situation was becoming complicated. We couldn’t end this season without changing anything, at least without trying something, specifies Charly Rotrou. Afterwards, we clearly explained to the players that everyone had to take responsibility now. »

Guillaume Brouqui has played nine matches with Usan this season.
“Lack of solution”
Usan is mired at the bottom of the table, with only two points ahead of the relegation zone, only four victories in 11 matches, far from the qualification ambitions (or even better) announced at the start of the season and the potential of this team most of whose elements have played at higher levels. It seems without solution and in a negative spiral (six defeats in the last seven meetings).
The players are aware of their responsibilities. “It’s a disappointment for everyone, we’re not going to hide it. At the start of the season, we thought we could do better, but today, we are lacking a solution,” explains Jean-Baptiste Savy, the three-quarter center.
Beating Lacapelle-Marival, the last one, is imperative. But the team is full of doubts. “We absolutely need points to ensure maintenance as quickly as possible. Plus, we lost there, so we will have revenge to take,” adds Savy. The Usanist group should record the return of Youcef Azri.
