Squad24 May 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Thibault Rambaud

76 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. FC Annecy lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market24 May 2027

Ahmed Kashi asks to leave FC Annecy

“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.

The dugout24 May 2027

Ahmed Kashi says FC Annecy went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Market24 May 2027

Adam Yahi has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around FC Annecy they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Squad24 May 2027

Tempers go at FC Annecy

Florian Escales was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Squad24 May 2027

A row about effort at FC Annecy

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mattéo Veillon was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout24 May 2027

Matis Duval gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout24 May 2027

Travis Patterson gets picked when it counts

Every manager keeps a short list in his head of the men he wants on the pitch when the stakes rise, and it is never published. The team sheets for the big afternoons say Travis Patterson is on it.

The dugout24 May 2027

Florian Escales asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Squad17 May 2027

A knee injury of the worst kind for Thibault Rambaud

84 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. FC Annecy lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Market17 May 2027

Thibault Delphis is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at FC Annecy is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

The dugout17 May 2027

Matis Duval says FC Annecy went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad17 May 2027

A falling-out at FC Annecy

Calebe and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

The dugout17 May 2027

No hiding place for Vincent Pajot

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Vincent Pajot, and the manager let it.

Loan watch17 May 2027

Quentin Paris keeps scoring at Paris 13 Atletico

30 appearances away from home and 9 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

The dugout17 May 2027

Kadan Young has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at FC Annecy will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

Squad17 May 2027

Words at FC Annecy training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Ahmed Kashi is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Market17 May 2027

The Moïse Sahi Dion question follows FC Annecy around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Moïse Sahi Dion’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

From our football correspondent Steady

Market25 Jan 2027

François Lajugie hands in a written request

“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what FC Annecy can pretend not to have heard.

Match23 Jan 2027

Whatever happens, FC Annecy do not lose

8 games unbeaten now. Some were earned and some were survived, but a habit is forming — and habits are the hardest thing in football to play against.

Market25 Jan 2027

Only the photograph left for Adam Yahi

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Adam Yahi will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around FC Annecy the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

The paperwork begins on Hendrik Van Crombrugge

A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. FC Annecy have done the hard part with Racing Genk, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Market25 Jan 2027

Matéo Gonzalez moves on

US Concarneau pay $450.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Market25 Jan 2027

Thomas Callens moves on

Amiens SC pay $370.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad25 Jan 2027

A move Matis Duval would have made for nothing

There is a version of every career where the player ends up somewhere he chose rather than somewhere that chose him. Matis Duval is living that version at FC Annecy, and it tends to show in the first month.

Transfer targets25 Jan 2027

Hellas Verona tell FC Annecy: Pierluigi Gollini 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.

Squad25 Jan 2027

Words exchanged at FC Annecy

Thibault Delphis 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.
