A month and a half after its last match (eliminated in the round of 16 of the play-offs by Cergy-Pontoise), the C’Chartres BM has not yet panicked on the transfer side, at least in the arrivals box. Only the coach has moved, since Moatassim Rhennam (Lyon SO / N1) will succeed Sébastien Lambert, leaving for Challans (N1). On the departure side, the club communicated, on its networks, that eight players would no longer wear the blue jersey (see box opposite).
If no new player is, for the time being, reported, this is not why there is no agitation behind the scenes. Thus, with the departure of the position 4 Chartrain Mounir Bernaoui in Caen, another strong winger could do the opposite route. “We are on three players, two wingers and a post 4, it’s almost done,” said CCBM manager Milan Vasic yesterday. “We still have to find a leader, a second position 4 and a pivot. We would start with a single foreigner, rather a rookie, not necessarily an American, ”added Vasic.
He had found Chartres this season with Caen
Less used in Caen
Regarding the leader who could come to support Yann Siegwarth, the latter being able to shift to the rear position, the name of Olivier Romain is circulating. “It’s not impossible…”, launched Milan Vasic. Last year, the 34-year-old leader (1.80 m), wishing to stay in Chartres, where he had stayed for five seasons, was pushed out. The double European junior champion, who had actively participated in the rise of the club in ProB in 2018, then took the direction of Caen. For two years. But, the one who had a modest performance this season, under the coaching of Fabrice Courcier (7.4 points, 3.7 assists for 9.1 rating in 25 minutes) *, was not kept by the club Calvadosian.
In addition, having his children educated in Chartres and his wife transferred professionally in the sector, it would not be incongruous to see the native of Versailles put on the azure jersey again, to the delight of the BlueFoxs, the supporters of the CCBM. “I have to discuss with my agent”, breathed, a few days ago, the player.
* During his last season in Chartres (2020-2021), he was shooting 10 points, 5.4 assists for 14.4 rating in 29 minutes.
