“We are going to go from an amateur organization to a professional organization”

It took almost nothing. Engaged in the exciting Group D of National 2, the Racing Club de Grasse concluded its 2019/2020 financial year in second place, just two small points from Annecy, promoted to National therefore. Inevitably enough to leave a bitter taste in the Alpes-Maritimes, after the FFF’s decision to stop the amateur championships.

“We have a feeling of frustration that inevitably dominates, recognizes Romain Henry, sports director of RC Grasse, in an interview published on the club website. We tell ourselves that we could not be judged for our fair value. With hindsight, we think that we had to make a decision and that the championships could not have resumed anyway. But sportingly, we would have liked to show that we had the weapons to climb. There were nine days left. It’s complicated to really be able to judge. Given the number of points we had, our statistics and the number of games to play, we clearly had our chance to play the climb, “said the leader.

“All of our players will be dedicated to football only next year”

Romain Henry has been in the post for six years now looking to the future. “This premature stop of the championship allows us to work more serenely, with more time ahead of us. The biggest change is that we are going to go from an amateur organization to a professional organization, by training in particular during the day, All of our players will devote themselves only to football next year. They will be able to benefit from treatments and have weight training sessions in addition to group sessions. All this with a sports staff available daily and a medical staff with whom we are going to continue our collaboration. Still with this in mind, to build the foundations of a new project, in order to start the ascent and climb the ladder in the coming years.

With a group of players “slightly” reduced, “always the desire to keep our DNA” and “by essentially trusting the team put in place this season”, Romain Henry would however like to add “one player in each line.” Loïc Chabas as head coach and Karim Adsa as assistant coach being maintained, the leader can now set the course for southerners: “We are still hoping for an accession as soon as possible. This year, we are not “We weren’t quite ready yet, especially on the sporting side. So we’re going to take another step by putting in a standard organization, in order to play the climb to the National starting next season.”

A project of which the reserve team is an integral part, just promoted in Regional 2. “One of the cornerstones of the project is the rise of the reserve team in Regional 1,” he confirms. 2 was more than necessary. This allows us to work even more closely in the overall club project and training. Our desire is to go up one more step in order to offer our young people an interesting level, at the highest regional level. , at the end of their training “.
