The wind of protest against Vladimir Petkovic is neither the Mistral nor the Tramontana, but it exists and is intensifying from week to week. The Girondins de Bordeaux have been in difficulty since the start of the season and have won only two matches in 16 Ligue 1 days. The Bosnian coach appeared more defeated than ever during the rout in Strasbourg (2-5). His late choices, when Bordeaux seemed to take the tide at half-time, as well as his monotonous speech are beginning to tire some observers of the club, even if the rumors only remain with social networks.
Guest of France Bleu Gironde, the former Bordeaux defensive midfielder Lassina Diabaté (1997-2001) spoke about Vladimir Petkovic. “I’m not saying he’s bad, but he can’t seem to find a solution. Should we continue with a person who cannot find the solution? I do not believe !“, he thunders. He claims a coach who would be homegrown to straighten the bar.
Lassina Diabaté wants to try the Furlan bet
Several coaches from the region return regularly when it comes to discussing this coveted position of coach of the Girondins de Bordeaux. Didier Tholot, Alain Giresse or Jean-Marc Furlan. It is the latter who retains the former Ivorian midfielder of the Girondins even if he seems to be a risky bet because his experience as a coach was in Ligue 2 and not in the Elite. “We have to give it a chance“, pleads Lassina Diabaté. He continues:”We can never judge him if we don’t. In any case, an electric shock is needed.“A result against an Olympique Lyonnais also plagued by doubt would calm the debates and reverse the vicious circle in which the Navy and White are slowly sinking. Proof that, in football, everything can go very well. quickly in one direction or the other.
