Nobody could get near Jean-Luc Philippe

Successful dribbles: 49. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad14 Sep 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Richard Poirier

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

Market14 Sep 2026

Louis Prévost wants more than Tours are offering

“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Lassine Diarra 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 Tours this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Jean-Luc Philippe 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.

Match12 Sep 2026

A bad afternoon for Tours against Nimes

0‑2 to Nimes, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad14 Sep 2026

Lassine Diarra 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.

Loan watch14 Sep 2026

Yann Nguyen counts the days

“I watch every Tours game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Olympique de Marseille runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.

Player ratings14 Sep 2026

Patrick Laine gives it away

There was no pressure on him and nowhere he had to be. Tours lost a goal to a decision that took half a second and will be discussed all week.

A knee injury of the worst kind for Richard Poirier

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

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Richard Laurent runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 37. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market31 Aug 2026

David Renard 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 Tours, and it is not being withdrawn.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tours

Louis Prévost 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Tours come up short against Clermont Foot

Clermont Foot left with the points after a 0‑1 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Jean-Luc Rey

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Words at Tours training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Théodore Roussel 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.

Market31 Aug 2026

The shop window has Olivier Morin in it

Tours have let the market know Olivier Morin can be had. No price in the advert, but everyone in the trade knows roughly what it says.

The terraces31 Aug 2026

Supporters make their feelings known about Daniel Sanchez

The speculation has reached the stands, and the stands have answered. Tours would like this settled before it becomes the only thing anybody asks about.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Richard Poirier damages knee ligaments — 137 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 137 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Market10 Aug 2026

Frédéric Michel asks to leave Tours

“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.

Market10 Aug 2026

LOSC Lille come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and Tours did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Market10 Aug 2026

Jean-Luc Philippe 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 Tours hears a sentence like that exactly as it was built.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Louis Prévost signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Louis Prévost commits to Tours for another 4 years.
