Currently coach of Lausanne Sport, in the Super League, the first Swiss division, the former coach of the TFC, Alain Casanova, got angry with journalists following the defeat of his team.
After his team lost 2-1 to Lucerne in a crucial match, Alain Casanova, the former coach of the Violets, got carried away. When a journalist asked him if he still thought he was the man for the job, the former goalkeeper replied: “You don’t know anything about football but you talk to me about my tactical system”, before to add: “It’s not by playing four that we’re going to be more offensive. I’m surprised that in Switzerland all journalists think they’re coaches, when they don’t have a diploma. We are coaches and we know more or less what we are doing.”
It had to fall.
In the Lausanne-Lucerne post-match press conference, a tense exchange between Alain Casanova and these Swiss journalists “who all believe they are coaches, even though they have no diploma”.

A precedent a few days ago
An outing that goes rather badly on the other side of the Pyrenees. Arrived on February 3, the former TFC coach has still not won a single match at the head of Lausanne Sport and his team is in last place in the standings. And it’s not the first time he’s gotten carried away like this. After the defeat against Basel, ten days ago, Alain Casanova this time criticized the refereeing: “The treatment we receive is not worthy of the level of the Super League. We are victims of incomprehensible decisions”.
In Toulouse, the end of the story was recorded on October 10, 2019. The TFC had not been successful since August 31 of the same year and was in a very poor 18th place. It was Denis Zanko who had acted on the sidelines of the Violets before Antoine Koumbouaré took over.
