Guillaume Gille is new French national team coach

Now it is official. Two days after L Equipe brought the story about dismissing Didier Dinart from the position of the French national team head-coach, the Federation confirmed that.

Dinart’s assistant, also legendary player of the French team, Guillaume Gille will replace him.

He will lead the team for the first time at Olympic qualification tournament in April.

“I am aware of responsibility of leading such a project like French national team”, said Gille.

“We are waiting for united reaction”, said FHF president Joel Deplanque.
