According to the leaders of C’Chartres MHB, no decision has yet been taken, nothing has been validated. A month after the announcement of the non-renewal of Toni Gerona, the C’Chartres MHB would therefore still be looking for its future coach.
In search of a profile capable of “revitalizing the coaching sector”, in connection with “a management aspect” to be developed, the club would study different avenues after having received a very large number of CVs in its mailbox.
The contract of Toni Gerona, the coach of C’Chartres Métropole Handball, will not be renewed
According to our information, Saran (Proligue) coach Fabien Courtial, 45, is one of the candidates. He has even been interviewed. Which does not mean, however, that he already has one foot on the banks of the Eure. Far from there.
Faithful for more than twenty years to the Loiret club, with which he had two experiences in D1 (2016-17 and 2021-22), the technician is also linked there until 2024.
Questioned by our colleagues from The Republic of the Center on a possible departure in Eure-et-Loir, in the off-season, Fabien Courtial replied, with his usual phlegm, that he did not wish to comment on “a rumor.”
Wave of extensions at C’Chartres MHB
Among the many applicants, would also appear Patrick Cazal, double world champion in 1995 and 1991 in the jersey of the France team. Current coach of Tunisia, with whom he is competing at the World Cup in Poland and Sweden, the 51-year-old Reunionese previously officiated for many years in Dunkirk.
Many other names are heard including that of the ex-Barjot Philippe Gardent, current coach of Bordeaux (Proligue) passed by Chambéry, Paris and Toulouse, and the Romanian Rares Fortuneanu, former coach of Saint-Raphaël and the selection from Romania.
The C’Chartres MHB does not imagine tying up the file of its new coach for several weeks.
