Top 14 - Sadourny prochain coach principal de Castres : pourquoi l’annonce tombe si tôt ?

Xavier Sadourny, actuellement en charge des trois-quarts du Castres Olympique, sera promu au poste d’entraîneur principal la saison prochaine, en remplacement de Jeremy Davidson. Cette annonce a été faite lundi 4 novembre par le président du club, Pierre-Yves Revol, en personne.

Au lendemain de la 9e journée du Top 14 et alors que Castres pointe à la 7e place du classement provisoire, cette annonce arrive soudainement, alors qu’on ne l’attendait pas. Pourquoi l’annoncer si tôt ? Est-ce que cela ne va pas fragiliser la cohésion de l’équipe ?

Éviter le risque d’usure avec Jeremy Davidson

Le contrat de l’entraîneur actuel, l’ancien international irlandais Jeremy Davidson (32 sélections avec l’Irlande plus 3 avec les British & Irish Lions entre 1994 et 2002), arrivera à son terme à la fin de la saison. Davidson avait pris les commandes du CO en février 2023, remplaçant Pierre-Henry Broncan alors que l’équipe se trouvait en difficulté au classement.

Castres se trouvait à la 9e place lors de la saison 2022/2023, puis à la 7e place la saison suivante. Cette année, après neuf journées, le club affiche un bilan de cinq victoires à domicile et quatre défaites à l’extérieur.

La saison semblait certes patiner, mais est loin d’être catastrophique. « Les résultats, bons ou moins bons, proviennent de plusieurs facteurs. Le manager en constitue un parmi d’autres et là, je préfère anticiper l’usure que la gérer dans l’urgence », estime pourtant Pierre-Yves Revol.

« Jeremy Davidson a toute notre confiance pour la saison en cours qui sera sa troisième mais il n’y aura pas de prolongation de contrat. Les deux parties souhaitaient être fixées assez tôt dans la saison, c’est fait.

« Il n’y a pas de règle mais la fonction est très exigeante et usante surtout dans un club avec un effectif assez stable. Donc s’il y a des risques d’usure, ma responsabilité est de les détecter, de les analyser et d’agir en conséquence dans l’intérêt du club. Cela n’altère en rien l’estime que j’ai pour l’homme et ses qualités professionnelles. »

Une promotion pour Sadourny

C’est donc Xavier Sadourny, actuel entraîneur des trois -quarts, qui le remplacera la saison prochaine en plus de ses obligations actuelles. L’homonyme de Jean-Luc (arrière international aux 71 sélections) a signé un contrat pour trois saisons.

« Il a pris le risque de nous rejoindre initialement pour une seule saison et son intégration au club, qu’il avait certes connu en tant que joueur (2003-2005, ndlr) s’est très, très bien déroulée. Il possède le niveau d’expertise requis », a précisé Revol.

« Xavier Sadourny possède une expérience déjà riche et nous l’estimons en capacité de prendre plus de responsabilités. Le CO a souvent connu la réussite en assurant la promotion d’entraineurs qui avaient tout à prouver au plus haut niveau. »

Cette solution en interne a le mérite d’être « moins en rupture » pour la cohésion du club alors qu’une piste de travail était de recruter l’actuel entraîneur du RC Vannes, Jean-Noël Spitzer.

Par ailleurs, le club est activement à la recherche d’un entraîneur pour les avants.

Sadourny, auvergnat de nature et de formation

Xavier Sadourny, 47 ans, est un pur produit de l’ASM Clermont, où il a débuté le rugby à seulement 7 ans, poussé par une véritable passion familiale. Son grand-père était un fervent supporter, et son père a joué dans le même club.

Même s’il y a fait ses débuts, Sadourny a voyagé à travers plusieurs clubs français (Castres, Brive, Lyon) pour totaliser 280 sélections comme demi d’ouverture entre 2003 et 2012 avant de passer de l’autre côté du ballon.

A partir de la saison 2013-2014, il devient entraîneur du centre de formation de l’ASM – avec Damian Penaud et Alivereti Raka, entre autres – puis prend en charge l’animation offensive et le jeu au pied de l’équipe senior en 2020.

Finalement, après avoir évolué aux côtés de Vern Cotter, Franck Azéma et Jono Gibbes, il jette l’éponge tout début janvier 2023, évoquant un phénomène « d’usure et de messages plus difficiles à transmettre auprès des joueurs ». Deux semaines plus tard, Christophe Urios sera nommé entraîneur principal de l’ASM.

Sans poste depuis cette date, Sadourny a donc décidé de faire des infidélités à son club de toujours en rejoignant le staff de Castres pour la saison 2024-2025 en remplacement de David Darricarrère qui n’avait pas souhaité prolonger pour rejoindre Brive avec Pierre-Henry Broncan en Pro D2.

Hello everyone here, I am here to warn you to please do not make the same mistake I made in the past, I was a victim of a bitcoin scam. I’m so glad that I have gotten all my funds back without any stress thanks to CYBERSPACE HACK PRO company. For me. I am posting this review because I want to be of help to someone out there going through a lot to recover their bitcoin even though many people told me it’s impossible. I invested about $632,000 from a Binary Operation company I found on Telegram. After much depositing, I decided to withdraw after several weeks but the withdrawal wasn’t successful. I contacted the binary operation through their email and phone number, though I didn’t get any response from them and that was when everything clicked that I was scammed. Some weeks later I got an email from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected, and I never heard from them again. I was really devastated at this moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone. Then I was introduced to this wonderful recovery company Called CYBER SPACE HACK PRO company, so I emailed them Cyberspacehackpro(@)rescueteam.com explained to them what happened and all I had to do was to follow there instructions so they can help me recover my funds which they did and i got all my money back i am so happy i decided to share my good news for those that are having same issues should contact them via
