Rolland Courbis, previously the coach of USM Alger, approaches the challenge with a realistic outlook, emphasizing the importance of the present and the upcoming matches before any future aspirations. He acknowledges his role in adding a positive influence but cautions against expecting instant miracles, stating, “I’m here to add a little extra, but I’m not a magician. Next season, we will try to play an outsider role.”
Louis Nicollin, the president of Montpellier, expresses optimism in Courbis, stating, “Rolland is the boy we needed. I hope we will get through it; it would be unfortunate if we fell to Ligue 2.”
The club’s president seems to have confidence in Courbis’ ability to turn the team’s fortunes around. Whether Rolland Courbis will be voted the best African coach of the year remains to be seen, but his past successes with USM Alger contribute to his standing in the football community. The narrative of Montpellier’s season under Courbis is yet to unfold, and the football world will be watching to see how the team responds under its new leadership.
