Girard Quits
After steering Montpellier to a title winning season and a place in the Champions League, Rene Girard has dramatically resigned. Girard felt Montpellier were not ambitious enough for him and felt he should be at a top club.
Montpellier have wasted no time in replacing Girard with rookie Matt West, taking over. West was a first team coach at the club and they felt he had the right character and ambition to succeed at the club. But will the fans take to this unknown manager?
