The coaches’ waltz is about to begin in Betclic Elite. According to West France, Laurent Vila will leave Cholet Basket this summer at the end of his contract after three years of loyal service. A meeting is planned for this purpose in the middle of the week and should confirm this departure.
Arriving in 2021 to succeed Erman Kunter, the Catalan technician had experienced a disastrous first few months before finishing the season with a bang and bringing the Mauges club back to the playoffs for the first time in 10 years. He also took them to the final of the FIBA Europe Cup the following year and was well on their way to qualifying CB for a third time in a row in the playoffs on the national scene.
Frédéric Fauthoux, Julien Mahé, Mickaël Hay, Guillaume Vizade and Lassi Tuovi on the market, not Vincent Collet
Despite contacts with Le Mans and Bourg-en-Bresse, the current coach of Cholet still does not know what the future holds for him. To succeed him, the newspaper is putting forward the trail of Fabrice Lefrançois, his assistant for three years, of Julien Mahé, at the end of his contract at Saint-Quentin, or even of Mickaël Hay, but nothing concrete yet as long as Laurent Vila has not not recorded his departure. The former Blois coach is currently discussing with several clubs including JDA Dijon, while the future of Laurent Legname has not been decided.
In addition, it appears that Guillaume Vizade would hold the rope to replace Elric Delord – who will take a sabbatical – at Le Mans. The Vichy coach, also surveyed by a German first division club according to BeBasketwould have been received by the Sarthe leaders.
Otherwise, Bourg-en-Bresse would like to extend Frédéric Fauthoux, certainly approached by ASVEL but far from having made a decision on his future at this stage. The JL, which has been seeking to extend it for months, is still working on the scenario of a departure so as not to find itself in embarrassment. The profile of Lassi Tuovi, the former SIG coach who became assistant to Luca Banchi at Virtus Bologna, would be among the short-list, with Laurent Vila, therefore.
Finally, coach Vincent Collet is focused on the Paris Olympics and “would not like to discuss his personal future before the end of the summer”. The musical chairs are just beginning.
