Montpellier’s remarkable resurgence continued with another impressive victory, this time against Reims, securing a 4-2 win. Since the start of the season, Montpellier has achieved a record similar to PSG’s, with three wins and a draw in their last four matches, including a memorable Coupe de France triumph over PSG at the Parc des Princes.
Under the guidance of Rolland Courbis, who returned to Montpellier after his stint in Algeria, the team has undergone a remarkable transformation. Previously languishing in 17th place out of 20 teams, Montpellier now sits comfortably in 13th place, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Courbis expressed his satisfaction with the team’s performance, particularly their ability to recover possession and stifle Reims’ attacking threat. Despite some nervy moments when Reims clawed back to 3-2, Montpellier ultimately held on for a convincing victory.
Courbis acknowledged the challenges ahead, particularly regarding the team’s upcoming schedule, which includes four away matches in six games. However, he remains optimistic about Montpellier’s prospects, confident that they can continue to climb the table and fulfill their potential.
