Bordeaux Coach Blames Late Recruitment for Struggles After Loss to Saint-Brieuc
Bordeaux’s coach, Bruno Irlès, attributes the team’s failure to compete for promotion to National 1 to a delayed recruitment process at the beginning of the season. This statement comes after a recent defeat against Saint-Brieuc, further diminishing their chances of securing the top spot.
Irlès: Early Readiness Key to Success
irlès stated that a well-prepared and timely recruited Bordeaux team would not have lost the game against Saint-Brieuc. He acknowledged that while mathematically, there’s still a chance for the top spot, the team has made too many errors.
