THE Girondins de Bordeaux are still active on the transfer market. Indeed, even if the group is almost complete, Bruno Irles announced again after the victory against Avranches (1-0), that an attacker was expected very soon. At the amateur level, clubs can bring in players until December 31. So with the regularizations in progress for
Djibril Diaw et Trazié Thomasit is a third player who should arrive in Gironde and join the group of National 2.
But behind the scenes things are also agitated Haillan. With the terrible social plan, which cost the jobs of 97 employees, we will have to find people to rebuild the club. For several days a name has been circulating to disembark at Haillan, information confirmed by Paris-Normandie, that ofArnaud Saint-André. He is currently the General Manager of the club Quevilly-Rouen Métropolerelegated to the National at the end of last season.
But who is Arnaud Saint-André ? Basically, the man started as a lawyer in public business law, then in regulatory law between 2016 and 2017, according to his professional profile. His experience in the world of football began in September 2017, when he joined the club Paris FC as responsible for legal affairs and institutional relations. A little over a year after his arrival at the Parisian club, he headed to Normandy and the Caen Malherbe Stadium (October 2018). He will be responsible for legal and human resources there until April 2019, before occupying the position of Secretary General until May 2021.
Then it’s up to Quevilly-Rouen Métropole
that he continued his activities, taking the position of
General manager. So he has been with the club for more than three years. The Bordeaux challenge could therefore allow him to discover something else, even though he is only 33 years old.
