Following the dismissal of Yannick Ansart, the former coach of Arras, Claude Rioust was named on the bench of Henin. First test against the undefeated leader messin. For Coeur de Foot, the new coach from Héninois talks about his arrival at Hénin-Beaumont.

How did you land at Hénin-Beaumont?

"It all happened 15 days ago. Following the layoff of the former coach, Hénin's club contacted me and we put priorities on the table. As they were common, we agreed. "

What is your view of the team and the ranking?

"The group is quality with a lot of experience. Unfortunately the injuries, suspensions and problems that have accumulated lately have not helped the players to be in the best conditions to play. Regarding the ranking of the team, I must say that with one victory, we can not claim to be at the top of the ranking. By cons I think they are not in their place and they have not lost their qualities in three months. So it's up to us to make sure that they play on their true qualities. What is certain is that mentally they are very strong. "

How do you see the match against the leader Messin?

"As for the game this weekend, we leave without any pressure because we play against the undefeated leader and with victories to his credit. So we will try to upset this team but especially to gauge for the follow-up. "
