Pau managers Nicolas Godignon and Frédéric Manca were dismissed after six consecutive losses in the Top 14, the rugby club announced on Wednesday. Pau fell to tenth place in the standings after losing to Castres on Sunday. The team will be led by the trio of trainers Thomas Domingo, Geoffrey Lanne-Petit and Paul Tito in the next game against the English Worcester on Saturday in the Challenge Cup.
Six losses in a row that hurt
Godignon, former manager of Brive, joined the Béarn technical staff in January 2019, then headed by New Zealander Simon Mannix. After the sidelining of the latter three months later, he was promoted to the head of the professional team with Frédéric Manca, former back of the club.
