BGL LIGUE According to our information, Emmanuel Da Costa has resumed sessions since the beginning of the week.
What if the Swift had found its new strong man? The Hesperange club, which has not yet formalized any recruits while quite a few names were already visibly present at the resumption of training under the orders of Hakim Menaï, the team manager, continues to advance masked. Including the identity of the man who will be responsible for regaining the title of champion. But a name ended up emerging on Friday, that of Emmanuel Da Costa, 46 years old. Nothing to do with Manuel Da Costa, the Luso-Moroccan defender who briefly played for the F91.
Having spent a long time in the French national championship with Rouen, Compiègne, Quevilly (for seven seasons all the same) and Créteil, the Franco-Portuguese has just, as assistant coach (notably to Laurent Battles), contributed to the rise of AS Saint-ANDhold in French Ligue 1, after a play-off match against FC Metz.
The expected departure of Roland Vrabec at the end of the season had not surprised anyone, not even the person concerned who, as a true professional, had assured to have understood the choice of the sponsor, Flavio Becca, who had not had any his money”.
Not a very diligent workforce?
In recent years, apart from the successful episode under the leadership of Pascal Carzaniga, top coaches have come and gone without managing to permanently establish Hesperange at the forefront. Vrabec failed just as much as Carlos Fangueiro, whom he succeeded, or Vincent Hognon. Swift still used up seven coaches in four years, for just one championship title.
Suffice to say that the challenge has been met. According to our information, it is Emmanuel Da Costa who has taken it upon himself to take it up, having been present at the sessions since Tuesday, but with a versatile squad that is already showing signs of rebellion in the same vein as those that led to the cancellation of the last friendly match back at the start of the year. This week, it is F91 – Swift that has thus been deprogrammed. Da Costa, in any case, must have seen Almir Klica come and go. Announced at Hesperange, the left-back of Jeunesse has reportedly returned to Arnaud Bordi’s sessions at Hiehl since then. It remains unclear at Holleschbierg. Green vague.
