He does not manage ! Like his team, David Guion is floundering. The Girondins de Bordeaux coach is even doing worse than his predecessor Vladimir Petkovic. That is to say. Arrived in mid-February to carry out the maintenance operation, the former coach of the Stade de Reims has absolutely nothing to solve the problems of this Bordeaux team.
His record is more than starved with a victory in 11 games for four draws and six defeats. He is quite simply today the worst coach in the history of the Girondins de Bordeaux with an average of 0.64 points per game. Renowned for his defensive style, David Guion does just a little better than Vladimir Petkovic in this area of play with 2.2 goals conceded per game against 2.6 for the Swiss. But that’s still far too much to hope to stay in Ligue 1. He too took bags like in Lyon and Nantes. Today, this management bet already appears to have failed as the Girondins are heading towards Ligue 2.
However, David Guion is looking for solutions and wants to be combative. He repeated last weekend that he still believed in maintenance. He tries to make things happen, he multiplies the changes of players or systems. Last week, he brought his team together for more than 2 hours in order to remobilize the troops and not let go despite the series of defeats. David Guion also says that it works well in training, unfortunately it does not translate into matches at all. Personally, his future remains unclear. In the event of maintenance, it is expected that his contract will be automatically extended. Otherwise, it’s unclear what the management have planned to do with him for the next season.
