It seems that Didier Ovono, the Gabonese goalkeeper, has a promising opportunity with FC Sochaux-Montbéliard in the French Ligue 1. The club has offered him a two-day trial, starting on November 13, 2012. This trial could potentially lead to a contract if he meets the expectations of the coach, Eric Hély, and the rest of the staff.
Given that Ovono has been without a club since leaving Le Mans the previous summer, this trial with FC Sochaux-Montbéliard could be a crucial opportunity for him to find a new team. The club may be considering him as a potential replacement for Pierrick Cros, who is unavailable due to injury and will be out of action for several months.
It’s not uncommon for players without a club to take part in trials or tests to showcase their skills and secure a new contract. Ovono’s situation with the Gabonese national team, where he put his selection on hold in October, suggests that finding a new club is a top priority for him. The outcome of the trial will likely determine the next steps in his professional career.
