The truce of the confectioners will be short-lived for Clermont-Foot, which already knows the programming of its match of the 16th finals of the Coupe de France on the lawn of the Furiani stadium in Bastia (Ligue 2).
It is therefore on Sunday January 2 at 4 p.m., that the Auvergne club will play its future in the Coupe de France on the side of the island of beauty. A draw deemed complicated by the Clermont coach, who expects from his troops a rather studious management of the end-of-year holiday period, to meet the challenge of the Corsican club, current 18th in the Ligue 2 championship .
“It’s a difficult draw against a Ligue 2 team and what’s more on the outside” – Pascal Gastien
To prepare for this knockout meeting, the entire group is expected to resume training on Tuesday, December 28 in the early afternoon. For the occasion, the central defender and captain Florent Ogier should be available again, following his injury suffered on the Angers pitch on December 19.
For this long trip to Corsica, the Clermont residents will find their former trainer Régis Brouard, appointed to the Corsican bench at the beginning of autumn.
