According to our information, Bès has indeed given his agreement. In the coming hours, he will sign an 18-month contract (until 2025) and will begin his new duties directly on Monday.
No victory since August
Without a club since his departure from LOU last summer, Bès joins the staff of Patrice Collazo, appointed two weeks ago, which includes Vincent Etcheto, for the back lines, Christian Labit, for the forward game and the attitudes to contact, and Antoine Battut, in charge of the touchline.
