The Clermont Foot Courier

Théo Guivarch stands alone
6 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

A falling-out at Clermont Foot
Mathys Tourraine and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
4 academy players handed senior numbers at Clermont Foot
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Adrien Hunou 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.
Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
Clermont Foot rebuffed over Rayane Bounida
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Ajax have kept their man, and Clermont Foot go back to a list with one name crossed off it.
Match15 Aug 2026
Mohammed Guindo the difference as Clermont Foot beat AS Saint-Etienne
Ask anyone on the way out what separated the sides and you will get one name: Mohammed Guindo. 2‑1 against AS Saint-Etienne, and the applause at the whistle was mostly his.
The terraces17 Aug 2026
One of their own: Mohammed Guindo
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Clermont Foot promote Bruno Gérard from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bruno Gérard has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Frédéric Barbier joins the Clermont Foot first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Frédéric Barbier is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
