The Montpellier Hérault Sport Club has chosen its new coach according to information from L’Equipe.
After the formalization of the departure of Jean-Louis Gasset this Monday, the Pailladins leaders would have chosen to entrust the reins of the first team to Zoumana Camara. At 46, the former Paris Saint-Germain of Paris is preparing to live his first experience as the main coach of a professional club. A daring choice, but carefully thought out, in a delicate sporting context. If he has never held a job as a number one on a professional bench, Camara does not arrive on unknown terrain. With a solid player course, he was able to convert his experience into supervisory skills. At the head of the Parisian U19s, he has refined his reading of the game in recent years. More recently, it was as a consultant for the Dazn platform that he shared his analysis of Ligue 1.
A promising trajectory for Zoumana Camara
Close to Jean-Louis Gasset, with whom he has exchanged in recent weeks, Camara will land in Montpellier with a modern vision of football and a current contract until 2027. A proof of the confidence granted by the leaders, eager to breathe new life into their sports project. The context leaves little room for learning. Montpellier has a complicated season. In this climate of instability, the MHSC has chosen freshness and renewal rather than that of experience, spreading other tracks leading to Pierre Sage or Jocelyn Gourvennec.
Zoumana Camara will not be alone in her mission, however. He should land with his own assistant and will benefit from the wise advice of Ghislain Printant, former coach of AS Saint-Étienne, who will play a discreet role behind behind the scenes. The departure of Gasset symbolizes the end of a cycle in Montpellier. Camara’s scheduled arrival marks the start of a new adventure, made up of uncertainties but also hope. The Hérault club relies on the enthusiasm, rigor and freshness of a novice technician to stop the negative spiral. Now time is running out. Camara will quickly impose her ideas, unite a group losing confidence and laying back a recovery. The maintenance operation is launched.
