The FC Annecy Courier
Squad23 Aug 2027
36 days out for Valentin Jacob 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.
Market23 Aug 2027
FC Annecy turn down Zulte Waregem for Thibault Rambaud
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
FC Annecy tie Jean-Baptiste Martinez down
A new deal for the man in the dugout, and the clearest thing a board can say without calling a press conference about it. Stability is cheap to promise and expensive to deliver.
Squad23 Aug 2027
A falling-out at FC Annecy
Abdel Hbouch and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Market23 Aug 2027
Cercle Brugge join the queue for Quentin Paris
Add another name to the list: Cercle Brugge have asked the question everybody in the game has been asking about Quentin Paris. The answer from FC Annecy has not changed — yet.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
Graduation day at FC Annecy
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
Paris Saint-Germain tell FC Annecy: Samson Baidoo is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.
The dugout23 Aug 2027
Ewen Jaouen 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.
Match21 Aug 2027
FC Annecy keep winning on the road
3 away wins in a row. Travelling support is the truest kind, and this season it is being repaid in the only currency that counts.
