“He’s an experienced player that I think we needed, says Chartres coach Jean-Pierre Papin. It was complicated to choose the right client, but there we came across a “dad” like we said in our jargon. We needed a boss, we’ve got him. He’s a big enough player, strong, good in the head and quick. The kind of profile we like to have in a four-man defense.”
Diaranke Fofana, who had extended this summer in Sedan, but was released from his contract, will discover his new partners this Monday, July 25 in training, two days before a first preparation match in Beauvais (N2, Oise).
