According to a report by L’Équipe, the FC Girondins de Bordeaux rebuild is set to begin this summer with some key appointments arriving at the club.
John Williams the current sporting director of Amiens SC will be involved in the Bordeaux reconstruction, although it is not yet known what his official role will be. Williams has reportedly been at work for the last month helping to build a new squad for the club following their administrative relegation to the fourth tier of French football.
L’Équipe writes that Williams will likely be joined by Bruno Irles who was let go from his position as manager of RWD Molenbeek in March. Irles has some experience helping clubs travel up the French footballing pyramid having played a part in Pau FC and US Quevilly-Rouen Métropole’s rise from amateur football to Ligue 2.
However, there are thought to be still a few details to be sorted before Irles will be officially named as the new head coach of Bordeaux.
