Match3 Oct 2026

Olivier Marie leads the rout of Stade Lavallois

4‑0, and Olivier Marie took the headlines on an afternoon when everything Tours tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Olivier Marie scores twice — 8.74

Two goals and a mark of 8.74 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

No sign of nerves from Konstantinos Karetsas at 18 — 7.88

The hardest thing about being 18 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Konstantinos Karetsas did not need any: 7.88, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Denis Legrand 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.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Nobody could get near Marc Vasseur

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Yann Giraud 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 terraces5 Oct 2026

The crowd has taken to Bruno Jean

At 22 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.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

A masterclass from Jacques Guillaume

Marked 8.79 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Daniel Colin has improved at 24, which nobody expected

Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.

Nobody could get near Konstantinos Karetsas

Successful dribbles: 41. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market31 Aug 2026

Daniel Colin 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.

Match29 Aug 2026

Tours make it 4 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Tours have 4 straight wins of it.

Market31 Aug 2026

Tours say no — this time

The offer from Bourg-Peronnas for Alexandre Rodriguez 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.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tours

Denis Legrand 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 find a way past Clermont Foot

Clermont Foot made Tours work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

One of those days for Yann Giraud

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.25, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tours pick somebody else ahead of Daniel Mercier

There is no complaint available here and everybody involved knows it, which does not make the walk to the bench any shorter. Form is the only currency in football that cannot be borrowed against.

Squad31 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Luc Guérin

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

Market10 Aug 2026

OGC Nice 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Denis Legrand stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Denis Legrand and Tours agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Tours

Yann Giraud 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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words at Tours training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Denis Legrand 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

Vicenza watching Jacques Guillaume

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Tours have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Loan watch10 Aug 2026

Jacques Barré has seen enough of Stade Rennais

“I am grateful for the games, but I did not become a footballer to be somebody else's spare part.” He wants to be at Tours, and 0 appearances in 0 say he has earned the hearing.
