Above all, I think that SR wants to do well in football, but unfortunately, they're making one bad choice after another and disappointing people.

I think Ben will have more success here, because he was born in your country, played in your country and got his first taste of scouting here too. Here in France, he has never managed to adapt to football and the way it works.

VAFC will spend several days training at Southampton's facilities, and Stéphane Moulin's team will face the English side, relegated to the Championship and now coached by former RC Lens coach Will Still, behind closed doors on 18 June. Southampton - VAFC, 18 July (Training centre, behind closed doors.)

Hello friend ! Press revieuw today: National : Valenciennes partira en stage en Angleterre, le programme des matchs de préparation - La Voix du Nord

The owner (I'm guessing Dragan), has told the club that he's in a hurry to get results, and the change in strategy that's been put in place seems to be the right way forward.

4th recruit for Valenciennes unveiled a few minutes ago! Valenciennes FC

Exactly, my friend, the third summer recruit has arrived at VAFC, this time a 22-year-old goalkeeper. After the departure of Mathieu MICHEL and Pape Demba CAMARA, the club was looking for a number 2 goalkeeper to complement Jean LOUCHET. The choice of this player was made by Damien PERQUIS (goalkeeping coach). He had also chosen Jean Louchet 2 years ago shortly after the club was taken over by Sport Republic. I know the goalkeeping coach a little and there's no doubt that he made a good choice. For the time being, we VA fans are seeing coherent and logical recruitment.

2nd recruit ot Valenciennes today ! Valenciennes FC

Welcome Joshua !

around mid-July!

What's more, the start of stage 3 of the Tour de France is in Valenciennes on Monday 7 July!

Normally, a friendly match against Valenciennes should take place, but at the moment, according to my information, it should take place in your training centre and behind closed doors. I would have so much liked it to take place at Saint Mary's! 🥲

It seems that shareholders here are getting impatient and are looking for quick results. The many restructuring measures already announced are moving in this direction. I hope this time it works out for VA.

You're going to get the coach of our rival team, because here at Valenciennes, we don't like Lens very much, Will has done a pretty good job, especially at Stade de Reims, at Lens it was a bit more complicated because from my point of view, he's a coach with potential and I hope he'll do a good job with you.
