It is already time for the recovery for the seniors of AS Briatext who will officially start their season this Sunday with the first round of the Coupe de France against Blan.
A new page also opened behind the scenes for the club with the arrival of a new pair at the head of the club, now chaired by Stéphane Bagland and Jordan Da Silva who succeed the emblematic Nicolas Monmayran.
On the sporting level, training has resumed since July 25 under the direction of Rémi Payrastre, still at the helm of the first team. Supported by Serge Talieu, he will also be able to count on the involvement of vice-president Jacques Da Silva who will also invest in the field edge. The reserve team will be managed by Franck Albarède.
The offseason was animated with a dozen departures offset by as many recruits. Among the starters, include Soukri and Roques (La Crémade), Bousquet (Albi), Monnerie (Cadalen), Lefebvre (Brassac), Fizir, Fernandes and the Halford brothers (Benfica) who will evolve under other heavens. In parallel, the ASB recorded the arrivals of Dkhissi (Marssac), Vieville (Terssac), Tardif (Réalmont), as well as the returns to the competition of Mandjavidzé, Slimani, Atoucloui, Diakité, Beautes and Capdeville.
“The group seems more competitive than last season. We have strengthened sectors that were often lacking last year, as in the defensive and offensive fields ”analyzes Rémi Payrastre. The scheduled return of several long -time injured players should bring the total workforce to around forty players.
The 2025-2026 championship will see the Briatextois evolve in a hen reduced to ten clubs, which promises a dense and balanced competition. “The hen is noted, but exciting. Our goal is to target the top of the table without setting limits.
The main thing remains to keep our Briatext identity which has always been our strength, ”insists the coach.
In order to best prepare for the opening of the championship scheduled for September 20 against the opponent of Sunday BLAN, several friendly matches were scheduled.
A first has already taken place against the receivers and others will follow in the coming days at AS Albi and the Crémade 2. With a group mixing maturity and renewal with assertive ambitions, AS Briatexte seems armed to continue its dynamics in order to be able to cross a new level.
