Biarritz Wednesday dismissed coach Jacques Delmas, guilty designated for a failed early-season (8th of the Top 14), far ambitions of the club, which still hopes to reverse its recent decline in entrusting his fate to his former captain Jean-Michel Gonzalez . In the spotlight for several weeks, Delmas, coach on the front BO since 2004 and under contract until June 2010, will ultimately not passed in November. His deputy Jack Isaac, in charge of rear end since 2007, remains along with "Gonzo". After the departure last June of a Patrice Lagisquet tired and worn out by ten years bench is the second wheel tandem champion France in 2005 and 2006, finalist in the European Cup in 2006, which folds in less baggage six months. Because "exemption (Delmas) in attending the training course and the club this week in Hendaye, terms politically and legally correct release of BO Wednesday, is not connected to anything other than setting on the sidelines, germinating for some time around Aguilera. Weakened after defeats in Dax (18-30) and Clermont (6-32) in late September, Delmas, unevenly supported by his locker, was found shortly after colors with a cardboard face Montpellier (46-3), but the defeat Aguilera to the neighbor against Bayonne (12-14) and non-revolt in Toulon (5-10) Saturday, have sealed its future. As premonition several media Monday, it was only a matter of days. Wednesday morning, Delmas has seen thus mean that decision at a meeting with club boss Serge Blanco, president Marcel Martin and the recently appointed sporting director Lawrence Rodriguez, before leaving the team for a three day behind closed doors in Hendaye. Without him. There is no doubt that the BO (5 v., 6 d.), 8th of the Top 14 to 11 pts 4th, Perpignan before hosting Stade Francais (3rd) Saturday at Aguilera for the shock of the 12th day, would well bumpiness past again. It plombe an atmosphere more gloomy past two years between bad choices and game-mast, coups de gueule and cloakrooms closed Failed final stages in Top 14 as UEFA Cup. In short, an end of cycle. There is no doubt that in appointing two weeks ago as sports director Lawrence Rodriguez, former coach of the 2002 BO champion, and entrusting the management of fronts to Jean-Michel Gonzalez, a former international hooker (35 selections from 1992 to 1996), Captain club champion in 2002 and 2005, leaders have tried biarrots betting on local fiber, friendship. This will be enough to bounce back and highlight the theme of the rank? Since his departure from the BO in 2003 for professional reasons, Rodriguez, a relative of the boss Blanco, was not very happy returns for its Top 14, either in 2004-05 Pau or Brive in 2005-06 . Gonzalez, 41 years, despite its experienced player and captain iconic darling of Aguilera and locker room leader, has experience of coaching for one season at the helm of the SA Bayonne, which changes Fédérale 3 . As for Isaac, former Australian center BO, also champion in 2002 and under Gonzalez Rodriguez, he retained his position - after having been approached thus also - thanks in part to its indispensable English in a group of 14 nationalities. Good luck.
