Jean Fernandez has resigned from his position as coach of Montpellier after their latest defeat (0-2) against Lorient. Last weekend, the president of MHSC, Louis Nicollin, criticized his decision to hire Jean Fernandez, stating he had “made a stupid mistake.” Fernandez, in the interest of the club, decided to step down, citing the mounting criticism against him. According to France Football, Rolland Courbis is speculated to replace him, but nothing has been confirmed yet. Laurent Nicollin, Louis’ son, mentioned they want a coach who wins and brings joy to the players. Montpellier, currently 17th, is set to face Toulouse on Sunday for the 17th day of Ligue 1. The potential replacements include Rolland Courbis and Frédéric Antonetti.
