Bernard Casoni reacted this Wednesday to the accusations of racism of which he is currently the target.
Bernard Casoni, the coach of US Orléans, is currently going through a complicated patch. Voices were raised to point the finger at him and highlight his borderline attitude towards the players he coaches.
“I could have said Canadians instead of North Africans”
The 1993 European champion allegedly made discriminatory remarks towards his players on several occasions. Remarks linked to an origin or skin color. After supporting him, his club ended up turning its back on him and decreed a layoff.
Wednesday evening, on RMC Sport, Casoni had the opportunity to defend himself. He did not seek to deny what he said, but he refuted the form and the desire to insult anyone.
🗣️💬 “I confirm. I went through the Maghreb. What I put in place there, I said to myself ‘if I am able to put it in place there, I can put it in place in Orléans! “

” I confirm. I went through the Maghreb. Everywhere I have been, I put principles in place. It worked there. And I told myself that what I implemented in the Maghreb, I can implement in Orléans. This sentence is one of the stupid sentences we say. It’s like I coached in Canada and said ‘you’re not stupider than the Canadians’.”he confided.
An argument which has the merit of existing but which should not convince many people. Why have fun comparing ethnic groups according to their intelligence?
