The timing can be perplexing. While Longueau won his first championship match of the season, Saturday October 12 in Ardres (64-73), after four initial defeats, his coach, Salah Koné, was dismissed. His successor? Sébastien Bozon (50 years old). This brought Le Cannet Côte d’Azur Basket up from Nationale 3 to Nationale 2 for men, and even to Nationale 1 last season, before the Alpes-Maritimes club refused accession for financial reasons. Previously, he coached Lons-le-Saunier (N2), from 2019 to 2021.
« It’s a surpriseindicates Théo Huré, one of the players of the “Green Team”. We didn’t expect it. Sébastien Bozon has a great CV and experience. He likes to take on challenges and he is there to allow Longueau to stay in Nationale 2. He is more focused on attack, while Salah’s game plan was more defensive. »
