The FC Annecy Courier
Match23 Nov 2026
FC Annecy sink to position 17
9 points, and a fixture list that is running out. The mathematics are not yet cruel, but they are no longer kind.
Squad23 Nov 2026
58 days out for Vincent Duval after a fracture
A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. FC Annecy will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Vincent Pajot pops up at the right end — 7.41
7.41, 1 on the scoresheet, and the specific comedy of a back-four player celebrating like somebody who does this every week. He does not, and that is exactly why the ground reacted the way it did.
Squad23 Nov 2026
Florian Escales 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 FC Annecy this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Match21 Nov 2026
Montpellier HSC take the points off FC Annecy
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Squad23 Nov 2026
A row about effort at FC Annecy
Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Axel Drouhin was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Nobody could get near Kadan Young
Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.
The dugout23 Nov 2026
The manager makes an example of Florian Escales
“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.
Loan watch23 Nov 2026
Adam Yahi counts the days
“I watch every FC Annecy game from here. That says everything about where my head is.” The loan at Valenciennes runs its course, but his heart never made the trip.
In brief
- The dugout The view from the dugout
- Squad FC Annecy are still strangers to each other
- The terraces Everybody has an opinion about Florian Escales
