Basketball / Betclic elite: Frederic Fauthoux has been appointed as the new coach at JL Bourg

It's almost over, Frederic Fauthoux and Asvel. TJ Parker has been the Villeurbannais' associate coach since 2020. After having led Levallois for five years, the Landais (49 year old) will take over the JL Bourg's place at n deg 1. His signing was formalized by the club on Monday, May 30.

Frederic Fauthoux, a member of the club's website, said that Bourg showed great interest in me. Francois Lamy, whom I also know well, spoke highly of the club to me. I was looking for a bench, and a position as the head coach. I get the impression from Bourg leaders that we share common values. These are human values I feel very attached to. Bourg is a great place to have real human relationships.

After Laurent Legname's failure, Bresse was left without a coach. Bourg finished in 11th place and missed the playoffs. Frederic Fauthoux will be charged with bringing the club back into the Top 8 as well as the European Cup. Bourg will be joined by Pierre Pelos, an ex-Palois Pierre Pelos who he coached when he made his debut in 2012 on the bench at Pau Nord-Est.
