The management of the Girondins de Bordeaux has decided to renew its confidence in Vladimir Petkovic. Despite the historic defeat against OM (0-1) and his starving sporting record with three wins in 20 games, the former Nati coach remains in place for the moment. But until when ? His position will quickly become untenable in the event of further defeats in the coming weeks.
For now, management continues to target players. After having charged them following a defeat against Brest last November, this time she decided to sanction some: Paul Baysse and Medhi Zerkane were excluded from the pro group. From now on, they will train with the reserve. Others could join them: Kalu, Maja, Otavio and especially Laurent Koscielny. The Girondins would no longer count on their captain according to L’Equipe. A small earthquake. For now, the only two locker room executives spared would be Benoit Costil and Jimmy Briand.
What is the purpose of these decisions? There are several, already shaking the group, causing an electroshock. The second is to rule out elements that are not up to par or harmful to the group. Finally, the third is to satisfy the supporters. This Monday, the Ultramarines asked for strong action from management through a very salty statement to the players. As if by chance, two hours later, we learned of these decisions. No matter what you think of these choices, you can’t blame the leaders for doing nothing. He tries a bet. A bet always risky when it comes to the players and even more to the executives of a locker room. The future will tell if they were right.
