Nobody could get near Didier Dufour

Successful dribbles: 54. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market24 Aug 2026

Robert Roy asks to leave Chamois Niortais

“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.

Market24 Aug 2026

Gabriel Bernard attracts admirers

The name of Gabriel Bernard has come up in conversations Chamois Niortais were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

Market24 Aug 2026

Chamois Niortais turn down AS Nancy for Yves Leroux

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Match22 Aug 2026

Chamois Niortais make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Chamois Niortais have 3 straight wins of it.

Didier Dufour 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 Chamois Niortais this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Noan Géraux gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Noan Géraux has just signed for Chamois Niortais, and for once the answer mattered.

Chamois Niortais supporters have found a favourite in Denis Masson

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 21-year-old it feels ownership of. Denis Masson has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Chamois Niortais say no — this time

The offer from AJ Auxerre for Emmanuel Ménard was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Paul Schmitt wants to know where this is going

“I want to win things, and I would like to do it here.” Nothing has been demanded and nothing has been threatened — but a boardroom at Chamois Niortais hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Tempers go at Chamois Niortais

Marc Morel 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.

Didier Dufour 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.

The terraces3 Aug 2026

The crowd has taken to Gabriel Bernard

At 23 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

The afternoon belonged to Gabriel Bernard

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

Squad3 Aug 2026

Marc Morel 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.

Robert Roy told to find a new club

“They were honest with me, and I would rather know.” Robert Roy has been informed he is not in the manager's thinking at Chamois Niortais.
