Rouen Normandie Rugby met Sébastien Tillous – Borde (35), the former Toulon full-back coach, “ like others because many are looking for work », Specifies the president Eric Leroy, tense by this indiscretion of the newspaper Midi-Olympique, whereas the team prepares a crucial trip for the maintenance in Valence / Romans Friday and that it has just signed two successes in three days (against Montauban and Aurillac).

« Like every year at the same time, we receive coaches because the agents do their job and offer us CVs. It is for us the opportunity to have the vision of other coaches, it opens our minds. If one day we feel that things have to be changed, the people concerned will meet Jean-Louis (Louvel, the main shareholder, on the left in the photo). However, today, we did not make him meet anyone. And if it is to work with Richard, he must also be able to give his approval. We are far from all that today. »

Richard Hill not threatened

In office since 2013 and under contract until 2023, Richard Hill is not threatened, at least for this end of the season, nor surely the next if the club ensures its maintenance. On the other hand, the leaders want to probe the market because the two assistant coaches, Tom Palmer in charge of forwards and defense and PJ Gidlow in charge of three-quarters, will expire in June.

The Rouen staff should therefore end the season as it is, without Christophe Hamacek, recruited as a forward coach in the summer of 2019, who was withdrawn in early December because of a difference of view with Richard Hill.

Sébastien Tillous-Borde dismissed from the post of coach of the Toulon backs

Last week, the RNR leaders decided to give Christophe Hamacek a role in the recruitment unit and with the Hopes. He also maintains ties of friendship with Sébastien Tillous-Borde, whom he had under his command when he twice led the Béarn committee to the title of champion of France Taddeï.

Former international scrum-half (19 caps), Sébastien Tillous-Borde had been dismissed from the post of coach of the Toulon backs at the start of the spring confinement, a few weeks before the end of his two-year contract. Holder of the manager’s diploma since June, he intervened in recent months at the Carcassonne training center and traveled as an observer to Lyon and Pau to enrich his knowledge on “ working methodologies and operating methods », As he said in La Provence.
