Zapping Fifteen World 6 Nations Calendar 2024
Stade Toulousain has always liked to open up to the outside world. In recent years, Ugo Mola's staff has not hesitated to travel to meet other specialists while welcoming coaches from all walks of life to Ernest-Wallon. The exchanges are not limited to the field since Didier Lacroix is also attentive and curious. In the columns of The Dispatchthe red and black president explained that he went to meet Damien Comolli to benefit from the expertise of the Toulouse Football Club.
The Stadium used Téfécé’s expertise in data
Since the arrival of RedBirds at the head of the Violets in 2020, Téfécé has been one of the most successful clubs in using data and statistics in Europe. Something to inspire Lacroix and Stade Toulousain: “As soon as Damien Comolli arrived, we turned to him and said: “Damien, where do you come from with all of your know-how on data, would you kindly put us on your luggage rack?” This is so that we begin to ask ourselves the question of how to use it. We are very small, very new in data. We have been interested in it for 4-5 years. The objective is to innovate in an environment which has left little room for this area until now. But it's a very small market. In football, there are many, many number 10s on the planet capable of playing TFC. Number 10s to play at Stade Toulousain, there are 3 or 4 on the planet. » It remains to be seen whether Jack Willis or Blair Kinghorn were spotted by the staff thanks to these new tools.
