behind the scenes of the sporting success of Angers, the smallest budget in Ligue 1

This Friday noon, Alexandre Dujeux leaves in the rain to run alone. The Angers coach engages in this ritual several times a week, for around forty-five minutes. In the morning, his session was relocated due to impassable terrain at La Baumette, the fault of overuse and gloomy weather. One more annoyance in a season also marked by salary delays for the month of December, the absence of bonuses and for a time of a doctor, the administrative imbroglio around Haris Belkebla during the summer, the updates the gap between Loïs Diony and Adrien Hunou, among other extra-sporting stories which could have taken the SCO to the bottom.
