To say that the TFC will have impressed observers this season is an understatement. And no surprise that four of his key men are on the list of nominees for the UNFP trophies announced on Tuesday evening. These symbolic awards will be presented on Sunday, May 15.
He brought Tef back to Ligue 1
Inevitably, with a ticket for Ligue 1 already in his pocket, it was necessary to appoint the manager of the team which dominated the championship from start to finish. Philippe Montanier faces its counterparts from Ajaccio, Paris FC, Sochaux and more surprisingly, from Pau, 12th in the current ranking.
Two out of five chances of having the best Ligue 2 player
Branco van den Boomen and Rhys Healey : the best passer and the best scorer in the championship. 32 goals between them! The 26-year-old Dutchman trained at Ajax Amsterdam is the attraction of Ligue 2 this year, some observers even see him as the best player in Ligue 2 for years. Suffice to say that it is difficult to see how the trophy could escape him. No offense for our favorite Briton, darling of the Stadium. Rhys Healey, 27, planted 20 goals and fully deserves his nomination.
The two Violets will compete for the title with Auxerrois Gautier Hein and Gaëtan Charbonnier (15 goals), and Guingamp midfielder Youssouf M’Chamgama, second best passer in the championship.
The guardian of the temple
He too is one of the actors of the rise. The Toulouse goalkeeper has shown unfailing serenity this season. Maxime Dupe returned several clean sheets and conceded only 31 goals. It is however worse than the goalkeeper of Ajaccio, Benjamin Leroy who has lost only 18 times in 21 games. He will be the great rival of Toulouse. Facing them, the goals of Paris FC, Le Havre and Auxerre.
The traditional UNFP end-of-season ceremony will be held on May 15 at 9 p.m.
- Toulouse FC – Nîmes Olympique Saturday May 7 from 6:30 p.m. on France Bleu Occitanie
