Franck Le Goff will soon return to the benches. Thanked by Levallois last season, the technician is about to sign up with C’Chartres Métropole Basket. A strong choice from the Chartres leaders, who decided in favor of Le Goff rather than Laurent Foirest to try to stem a negative dynamic in Nationale 1.
A change made after a new disillusionment
The CCMB sporting situation has become even more complicated in recent days. After the ouster of Guillaume Le Pape, which took place in an already delicate context, Chartres failed to relaunch itself on the ground. The defeat conceded in the derby against Tours reinforced the urgency of the situation for a club now stuck at 6 wins for 10 defeats (11th out of 14 in Pool A).
This setback served as a backdrop for an expected decision: that of quickly appointing a head coach to give the team a clear direction.
Franck Le Goff, an experienced profile to cause an electroshock
According to information revealed by Alexandre Sanson, the signing of Franck Le Goff in Chartres is imminent. Thanked by Levallois last January, the technician is therefore preparing to return to a project in Nationale 1, with the priority mission of stabilizing and then straightening out the CCMB which will have difficulty reaching Pool A despite its status as relegated from the upper division and its new large – and beautiful – room.
# Nm1 Released by Levallois in January, Franck Le Goff will not end the year without a club. His signature in Chartres, where the name of Laurent Foirest has been circulating to succeed Guillaume Le Pape, is imminent.

His name has stood out in recent hours against that of Laurent Foirest, who had nevertheless been circulating insistently to succeed Guillaume Le Pape. The Chartres leaders finally opted for Le Goff, an experienced technician and above all a character perceived as the profile best able to provide an immediate response to current difficulties.
A strategic choice to save the season
Halfway through the championship, Chartres finds itself in an uncomfortable area of the ranking. The objective is now clear: quickly regain a positive dynamic in order to secure the continuation and prevent the season from tipping into an even more tense struggle.
With Franck Le Goff, the CCMB hopes to breathe new impetus and transform the institutional shock into concrete results on the floor, from the next days of Nationale 1. However, it is hard to believe that he will already be in office by this Friday and the last match of the year 2025, against Tarbes-Lourdes this Friday, December 19. Thus, the former coach of Nanterre should begin his new mission to start the year 2026.
