The Girondins de Bordeaux received unexpected and free help from a Ligue 2 sporting director, but also from a former player.
The Girondins de Bordeaux are in trouble, with a relegation to National 2 and a very limited budget to compose the teams involved in the different divisions next season. Faced with this dramatic situation for one of the historic clubs of the French championship, the supporters, furious with Gérard Lopez, whom they consider the gravedigger of the institution, dream of the help of charitable souls. Their wish was granted this Thursday morning.
According to France Bleu Gironde, the Bordeaux team will register an unexpected and above all… free reinforcement. John Williams, the sports director of Amiens, which plays in Ligue 2, will work voluntarily and with the agreement of his club to help the Girondins in their recruitment and their organization for this season.
The return of former players?
According to the same sources, the FCGB coach this season could be Bruno Irlès, who coached Troyes in 2022 and had a brief stint at Molenbeek in the Belgian elite last season. The decision will be confirmed before the end of the week.
Among the players, some former members of the club have already indicated that they are ready to participate in the commando mission, even without the promise of a decent salary. This is the case of Cédric Yembéré, 33, who wore the jersey of Klaksvik, in the Faroe Islands, last season, 7 years after leaving Bordeaux, his hometown.
