Philippe Saint-Andre will leave Montpellier

Philippe Saint-Andre and Montpellier, it’s almost over. According to our information, the former Blues boss will see his stint at MHR end in two weeks, which is a good time to deal with current affairs and ensure some form of transition with his successor Bernard Laporte.

“Bernard will exclusively supervise and coordinate the sporting aspects of the club, and Philippe will continue to advise the general management, deal with sovereign issues and ensure relations with the authorities.However, the head of the Human Rights Commission, Muhammad Al-Tradad, confirmed to JDD last Saturday.

But you have to believe that everything is moving faster than anywhere else in Hérault at the moment. Not too keen on the idea of ​​wearing a uniform resembling an empty shell under the former president of the French Rugby Federation, PSA will boycott a job it had begun in March 2020, with New Zealander Verne Cotter taking over.

After being persuaded by Mohamed Trad to hand over his coaching position less than a year later after poor results led to the sacking of Xavier Garbajosa, the former winger and France XV captain led the Cestes to the Challenge Cup title four months later. Later and the first Brennus Shield in their history in June 2022.

Planned cut

After a mixed 2022-2023 season, Jouret regained his height and distance from the field. In a few days, he will simply distance himself from Montpellier, who are having a disastrous start to the season with six defeats on the clock in seven days and an alarming position at the bottom of the Top 14.

If the Ministry of Human Rights has to find solutions to extricate itself from its unenviable situation, with a new staff hastily assembled by Bernard Laporte, the coming weeks should be less stressful for the PSA, which does not plan to retreat immediately.

“I will enjoy the weekend again“, he tells us. This should not prevent him from receiving some offers from professional rugby soon, given his CV and connections in the circuit.
