Two days before the trip to Montpellier, and while FC Metz is almost relegated to Ligue 2, Coach Antonetti spoke on Friday about the question of his future.
Will he continue his mission next season on the garnet bench or will he take a step back with the field to become general manager of the club at the Croix de Lorraine and thus leave his coaching position to his current assistant? , Benoît Tavenot, as our colleagues from L’Equipe suggested earlier this week.
For Fred Antonetti, these are only “ bullshit ! “. The Corsican technician specifies that he has two years left on his contract and that he has not yet discussed his situation with President Bernard Serin.
A Labor Day at La Mosson
Deprived of victory since January 16 and almost condemned to relegation, the Lorraine red lantern will try, this Sunday, to save their honor against the Pailladin club, which is also not doing well at the moment, with only one point taken during the last 5 days.
So mathematically, FC Metz is not yet officially relegated to L2, but Coach Antonetti has made up his mind: maintenance is dead!
Jemerson is no longer Garnet
Already a start at FC Metz! While the season is not yet over, the club announces that jemerson will no longer wear the garnet jersey. The defender terminated his contract for personal reasons and returned to Brazil. The former Monegasque had joined Lorraine last fall.
Also a word from Jean-Marie de Zerbi, one of Coach Antonetti’s loyal lieutenants. This assistant coach is suffering from a long Covid and he has returned to Corsica to rest.
This Sunday, FC Metz will be deprived of Oukidja (suspended) and Udol, Candé, Maïga, Kana-Biyik in Montpellier; Bronn (Wounded).
