AS Cannes had a reputation of producing some of the finest young French footballers around. The likes of Zinedine Zidane, Patrick Vieira, Johan Micoud and most recently Gael Clichy, all plied their trade with this famous club. However, the club has been in turmoil for the last decade or so. Not since the 97/98 season have Cannes been in the top flight and they now sit in the third tier of French football. The downward spiral has been constant at the football club, however, I intend on changing that.
June 30th the date, a new man in charge at Stade Pierre de Coubertin, Chris Whitehead, a 34 year old Englishman, born in Edgware was handed the task of taking this great club back to the top tier of French football.
Chairman Ziad Fakhri had this to say on the club's website about the appointment, 'Chris may lack experience at a high level, however, during the interview process he was the one who stood out to us the most. His enthusiasm, his ambition and his knowledge and understanding of the game were all key factors in Chris getting the job. We felt that Chris's qualities are what we are looking for to take us forward. This club needs a transformation and we plan on working together to achieve our goal of returning to the top flight.'
Whitehead had this to say also on the club website, 'I'm delighted to be able to take over the reigns at this fantastic football club. I can't thank the chairman enough for giving me this opportunity. I may lack experience and be from another country of a different syle and that could be a concern for some supporters here, however, i urge them to give me their backing, it's results on the pitch that matter ultimately and i believe myself and the squad can deliver. I'm relishing this challenge.'
Updates will follow, i'd appreciate any comments, positive or negative as i hope to make this story as good as possible, thanks.
