After the recent home defeat against Ajaccio, the coach has quit Ligue 2 club
LB Châteauroux, the team was in 16th place. On 4 June 2010,
FC Metz officials hired the former Châteauroux coach with the objective of leading the team back to
Ligue 1 within two years. His spell ended up in a nightmare as Metz was relegated in May 2012 in National for the first time, the French third division, before the last game of the season. He was even asked by the Chairman not to coach the team for the last game at home. ==References==
