From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Jad Koembo puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at LB Chateauroux, and it is not being withdrawn.

Boardroom

LB Chateauroux close the window on a squad of their own making

15 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Transfer targets

LB Chateauroux make their move for Adam Yahi

$690.0K on the table at FC Annecy. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

LB Chateauroux rebuffed over Guy Noël Zohouri

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Le Havre AC have kept their man, and LB Chateauroux go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Lassana Diakhaby falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Yanis Chahid in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at LB Chateauroux this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad

LB Chateauroux take the armband off Lucas Lavallée

It will be explained as a change for the team and it may even be one. Nobody who has worn one believes that, and neither does the man who has just had it taken away.

Squad

LB Chateauroux give Brahima Magassa the armband

A decision that decides nothing on the pitch and everything in the room. The manager has said, without saying it, whose voice he wants heard when his own is not there.

Market

Aymeric Potiron placed on the list

LB Chateauroux have made Aymeric Potiron available for transfer. A career at this club is over in all but paperwork.

24 Aug 2026
From our football correspondent Uneasy

Market

Enoch Simpore asks to leave LB Chateauroux

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Transfer targets

Simon Kalambayi is a medical away from LB Chateauroux

The deal with RWDM is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

RC Strasbourg tell LB Chateauroux: Martial Godo is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Corentin Jean

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad

Lassana Diakhaby falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Squad

Words exchanged at LB Chateauroux

Théo Trinker and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Player ratings

Nobody on the pitch touched Mehdi Beneddine

7.36, and no serious argument from anybody who was there. LB Chateauroux had eleven men on the pitch and one of them decided how it went.

The dugout

Half-satisfied: Jean-Luc Roger on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout

The manager has not finished forgetting Yanis Chahid's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

In brief
