Overview
- Girondins de Bordeaux suspended head coach Bruno Irles after a 1–3 home defeat to Chauray in National 2.
- Vice-president Arnaud De Carli told AFP the club intends to hand the team to former captain Rio Mavuba, though the hire is not confirmed.
- Mavuba, now coaching Bordeaux’s under-16s, could lead the first team at Locminé on April 4 if the club finalizes the move.
- Bordeaux are second in their National 2 group and trail La Roche Vendée by six points, with the leader holding a game in hand.
- Coverage notes a fallback path where finishing as the best second across the four groups could still bring promotion if another club is relegated for administrative reasons.
