Nicolas Bach, newly named, talks about his choice to join the Isère club. , of this new project, objectives as well as the mercato. We are pleased to have the reactions of Laury Jesus, the centerpiece of Claix Football Grenoble Métropole, and of his partner Julie Perrodin arrived this summer from Saint-Etienne seduced by the new project of the club of the metropolis of Grenoble.

 Nicolas Bach (CFGM Coach):
"I chose Claix for several reasons, after my stay in Rodez I wanted an ambitious project with prospects, this is the case today in Grenoble, unlike when I left Claix.Other reason, Grenoble I am close to my family.I met the leaders and the mayor of Grenoble who told me of this real desire to develop women's sport, and football in Grenoble and its agglomeration and to apply for the reception of the 2019 World Cup stage at the Stade des Alpes, all this decided to come back to the club and make my contribution to this vast project.It is a year of transition.The structure changes, we will become a club agglomeration, we train in new conditions, play in new conditions and develop the club around the city of Grenoble through new partners.No, however, as we are ambitious, we will do everything to play the leading roles in the hen: It is essential to finish in the first 6, and then we will see. We have 3 big teams of pro clubs in front of us, Toulouse, Marseille, Dijon so that will be exciting. The objectives will be to finish in the first 6, and more if possible. The start of the season will give us a good overview of our level, as we play Le Puy, Dijon, Marseille and the TFC on our first 6 games. To fulfill these objectives we will need the will of everyone ... First of all the players, the staff, the club, then a significant investment in order to achieve a collective goal. If everyone pulls in the same direction, then we will succeed. I'm sure. We lost 2 players in D2, and have targeted 7 recruits so 7 players transferred. The team will be competitive. It already was and we are strengthening it. It is a question of going beyond a structural level. Claix is ​​a small city, to evolve and develop the image of football at the level of the agglomeration it was necessary that the image of Grenoble is associated with the project. It's done."
