A hold-and-add mission, please. Arriving from Racing Club de Strasbourg last February to manage to keep the club in Ligue 1, which he did, Frédéric Antonetti is no longer the coach of the Alsatians. The club, which went under the American flag last week after its takeover by the BlueCo consortium led by American billionaire Todd Boehly, who also owns Chelsea, wants to start a new cycle according to Marc Keller.
“Frédéric had a mission and he fulfilled it perfectly,” said the Strasbourg president in the official press release published by the club. The season has been tough and we have allowed ourselves some time to breathe. He did a very good job and I want to thank him. But a new cycle is starting and I am convinced that it is better to stop on this good note. We both agree. I therefore recorded this decision and informed the new shareholder, who ratified it. »
“A new era is dawning”
The Corsican coach, for his part, wished the best to his managers and Racing supporters. “A new era is dawning with the arrival of new investors who will provide the club with new resources. In this changing Ligue 1, which is undergoing profound upheavals, I wish them much success. The people of Strasbourg deserve it. »
The departure of Antonetti seemed inevitable, the new owners doubting, according to our colleagues The team, of “the ability of the French technician to embody their ambitious project, with an assumed desire to recruit young talented elements and make them emerge at the highest level. To embody this famous new project, the Americans would have ticked the name of the coveted Karel Geraerts, the Belgian coach quarter-finalist of the last Europa League with Union Saint-Gilloise, who is also on the shelves of AS Monaco.
