Toulouse FC part company with Interim Coach
The statement thanked him for his efforts and wished him well, in that order and in about that many words. The search begins immediately.

An empty coaching office at Toulouse FC
There is nobody left to promote and nobody left to run a session. The board have brought in a name the supporters do not know, and the question of how a club gets here will outlast whoever answers it.

Emergency meeting at Toulouse FC
The whole football department in one room on a weekday morning. Nothing was announced afterwards, which is what a board announces when it has run out of patience.

Interim Coach takes charge at Toulouse FC
“Somebody has to pick the team on Saturday, and this week that is me.” An interim appointment with no promises attached, which is how most of them start.

Aron Dønnum raises the bar for Toulouse FC
“I want to be playing for trophies while my legs still let me.” Nothing in that sentence is a transfer request, and nobody at Toulouse FC heard it as anything else.

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

Aron Dønnum stays put
“The easiest signature of my career.” Aron Dønnum and Toulouse FC agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Words exchanged at Toulouse FC
Cristian Cásseres 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.
Match3 Mar 2029
The goals have deserted Toulouse FC
3 matches, no goals, and a training ground that has tried everything. It will end — droughts always do — but nobody at Toulouse FC can tell you which week it ends in.
In brief
- Match LOSC Lille take the points off Toulouse FC
- Squad Patrick Adam pulls a muscle — 14 days out
- The dugout Abdoulaye Camara gets it from the manager
