He would have signed a one-year contract, modeled after the current Irish manager employed until June 2025 at CO.

A good choice from the Castres managers

A good choice by the Castres managers given the experience of the former loose half who went through Clermont (1999-2003), Castres (2003-2005), Brive (2005-2006) and Lyon (2006-2012) where he ended his career as a player to embrace a coach.

After a year coaching Lou, he will return to his original club to look after the Clermont backs for 10 years (2013-2023) in the successive staffs of Vern Cotter, Franck Azema and Jono Gibbes. It was in January 2023 that he left his position, describing a phenomenon of “attrition and messages that were more difficult to convey to players”. Since then, Clermontois, who has always had an appetite for coaching and brought out many players such as Damian Penaud, has taken care of the club’s youth teams.

The 47-year-old coach does not come to unknown territory in Castres where he had played two seasons where he was highly appreciated. He will especially find Julien Dumora whom he had coached in Lyon and Paul Jedriazak, the current second line from Clermont who would have signed up for 3 seasons at CO.
