Entraîneur du RAF depuis cinq ans, Franck Rizzetto a très bien négocié le difficile passage du monde pro à celui des amateurs. Portrait. Parler de Franck Rizzetto c'est déjà évoquer son Périgord natal, une terre belle et sauvage chère à bien des Alsaciens qui y ont vécu du temps de l'évacuation, et plus si affinités. On sait d'ailleurs que c'est le Racing qui, à travers ses exploits de 1939-1940, a donné un coup de fouet, à la pratique du football dans une région traditionnellement plus attachée au rugby. A l'époque, Strasbourgeois et Prétocoriens évoluaient côte à côte au sein d'une inédite entente, ce qui vaut à notre Racing le privilège unique d'avoir été champion d'une région autre que la sienne. Des aléas de l'histoire qui font également que l'actuel entraineur de Rodez a toujours des cousins du côté de la capitale alsacienne, par le truchement d'un des nombreux couples « mixtes » ayant alors essaimé. Très attaché à la Dordogne, où il a gardé de solides attaches familiales, c'est pourtant du côté de Toulouse que Franck Rizzetto a débuté. Il signe sa première licence à Balma puis passe au sein du grand club de la ville rose, où il ne parviendra pas à franchir la porte du centre de formation.
