Jessica Casanova devrait être remplacée par Mathias Altrad.

More than a week after the access match (20-18 victory against Grenoble) and its retention in the elite, the MHR continues its major maneuvers in anticipation next season.

Thus, after the announcement by President Mohed Altrad of the retention of Bernard Laporte in his position as director of rugby and the composition of a new coaching staff (Joan Caudullo manager, Benoît Paillaugue attack coach, Geoffrey Doumayrou defense coach) replacing Patrice Collazo, Vincent Etcheto and Christian Labit, it’s turn of Jessica Casanova to leave the club, according to information from the newspaper L’Équipe.

Mathias Altrad arrives

In latent conflict for months with Bernard Laporte, the general director of the MHR could take the management of RC Toulon. At issue: multiple tensions between the administrative sector and the "methods" by "Bernie".

Always according to L’Equipe, the former president of the FFR would have liked to replace Jessica Casanova with Laurent Gabbanini, his former general director at the Federation. A vain wish since President Altrad would have named his son Mathias Altrad.
