We will have to get our necks wet before going from the champion of France to 16e of Ligue 1.
Worried even before the start of the season, as pointed out West FrancePierre Aristouy messed up his comeback with a defeat of FC Nantes at home against Toulouse (1-2). The Team reports this Thursday that the 43-year-old coach (at the head of the Canaries since May 9, with a maintenance torn off on the last day) would be more and more in the hot seat after only two official matches in his functions, because of doubts on his management or his coaching, and this initial setback which follows a worrying campaign of friendly matches: a single victory, 1-0 against Angers, a 1-1 draw against Hull City, and three crushing defeats ( 3-0 against Laval, 3-1 in front of Lorient and 2-0 on the lawn of Cologne). The trip to Lille this Sunday (1 p.m.) already promises to be decisive for the future of the technician.
Thus, the sports daily explains that the FCN would have surveyed the entourage of Christophe Galtier, in recent days, which the club denies. The former PSG coach, who left the capital after a short season, would have already been approached by the Yellow and Green after the 38e day of the championship, in June, and would have declined the offer. Before Aristouy, who arrived to play the firefighters on duty, was therefore finally confirmed for the 2023-2024 financial year.
Well, that was on paper.
