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.

  • BMO Management Strategies of Football Clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie
    BSc-Thesis – BMO Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie Name Student: Mylan Pouwels Registration Number: 991110669120 University: Wageningen University & Research (WUR) Study: BBC (Business) Thesis Mentor: Jos Bijman Date: 1-23-2020 Chair Group: BMO Course Code: YSS-81812 Foreword From an early age I already like football. I like it to play football by myself, to watch it on television, but also to read articles about football. The opportunity to combine my love for football with a scientific research for my Bachelor Thesis, could not be better for me. During an orientating conversation about the topic for my Bachelor Thesis with my thesis mentor Jos Bijman, I mentioned that I was always interested in the management strategies of organizations. What kind of choices an organization makes, what kind of resources an organization uses, what an organization wants to achieve and its performances. Following closely this process in large organizations is something I like to do in my leisure time. My thesis mentor Jos Bijman asked for my hobbies and he mentioned that there was a possibility to combine my interests in the management strategies of organizations with my main hobby football. In this way the topic Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie was created. The Bachelor Thesis Management strategies of football clubs in the Dutch Eredivisie is executed in a qualitative research, using a literature study. This Thesis is written in the context of my graduation of the study Business-and Consumer Studies (specialization Business) at the Wageningen University and Research. From October 28 2019 until January 23 I have been working on the research and writing of my Thesis.

  • The Gffn 100 2018: Ten to Watch
    GFFN 100 2018 THE GFFN 100: AN INTRODUCTION Welcome to another edition of the Get French Football News 100. Published at the end of ev- ery year by GFFN, the guide you are reading is as detailed and comprehensive a set of player profiles as one is likely to find, especially in English. Some of these players are well-known, even to the casual fan, and though they have been the subjects of countless profiles, we hope that you can gain a bit more depth in knowledge of their stories. This is especially true with the likes of Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappé. In 2018, neither was ever far from the limelight in a year in which France won the World Cup, thanks in large part to the teen- age sensation. Neymar may have garnered the odd headline for less positive reasons, but both remain as compelling off the pitch as they do on it. It is thus no surprise to see Mbappé top the rankings again; it does not take much objectivity to realise his immense talent and potential, but the present document is much more than a narra- tive driven by celebrity. We have watched the matches that do not generate headlines, seen the teams that are rarely on television, especially internationally, and artfully blended statistical anal- ysis with old-fashioned scouting to create what we feel is a definitive guide to the professionals currently plying their trade in France. If some rankings seem high, or low, read the profiles before making a snap decision as to our choices; this is a meritocracy.
