Crise à Montpellier : Altrad sort la pelle le 18 juin pour reconstruire le MHR

C’est un comble pour Mohed Altrad. Comment cet entrepreneur à succès, président d’un des groupes de BTP les plus puissants au monde, n’arrive pas à bâtir une équipe à succès ?

Au terme d’une saison catastrophique, la pire de son histoire, le président du MHR a convoqué une conférence de presse mardi 18 juin pour tenter de reconstruire. En sortant la pelle un 18 juin, Altrad aime les symboles. En espérant que cet énième remaniement fonctionne…

La greffe Laporte n’a pas pris

Lorsque l’ancien entraîneur principal Richard Cockerill a été débarqué pour mauvais résultats à peine six mois après avoir été recruté, Altrad pensait mettre un coup de bulldozer et entamer une reconstruction, déjà. « En trois heures », Bernard Laporte, présenté comme l’homme providentiel à cette époque, mettait au point un nouveau staff en tant que nouveau directeur du rugby (en remplacement de Philippe Saint-André) : un contrat de deux ans pour Patrice Collazo (lui-même débarqué de Brive peu de temps avant) et un contrat de six mois pour ses adjoints Vincent Etcheto (attaque) et Christian Labit (rucks et attitudes au contact).

On allait voir ce qu’on allait voir. Mais la greffe Laporte, fort en gueule et adepte de l’humiliation continue envers ses joueurs comme avec ses prédécesseurs, n’a pas fonctionné.

Six mois plus tard, Montpellier a tout juste réussi à se maintenir dans le Top 14 après un access-match remporté sur un coup de pied face à Grenoble, couronnant une annus horribilis où le MHR termine à une piteuse 13e place après 9 victoires et 17 défaites.

Règlements de comptes

Depuis, les langues se sont déliées. Les joueurs ont contesté le management, Patrice Collazo a assuré avoir rempli sa mission (le maintien au minimum) même s’il a regretté auprès de Sud Radio que « il y a beaucoup d’irrationnel dans notre métier ».

Son adjoint Vincent Etcheto a eu la défaite plus amère, même s’il s’attendait à ne pas être reconduit, vidant sa maison progressivement depuis plusieurs semaines avant le dernier match.

Il s’est répandu dans le Midol, dénonçant un putsch mené par d’anciens joueurs du MHR… dont la plupart sont aujourd’hui aux commandes. « Ils ont été élevés au biberon Altrad et ont envie de continuer à téter. Je n’ai pas d’atome crochu avec ces gens-là parce qu’ils n’ont rien fait pour qu’on en ait. Je leur laisse, leur club », a-t-il craché.

Altrad refait des fondations qu’il espère plus solides

Promis à être président délégué, Bernard Laporte a finalement été rétrogradé par son président légitime. « Bernard Laporte reste directeur du rugby. Il n’est pas là pour entraîner, il est là pour apporter son expérience considérable. Il a sa vision du jeu, le dernier mot lui revient. Il est là sur le moyen et long terme », a confirmé Mohed Altrad lors de la conférence de presse du 18 juin.

Ce sera notamment à Bernard Laporte de rebâtir une identité et de faire le lien avec les supporters.

Le staff a également été changé en profondeur. Joan Caudullo, pur produit montpelliérain et jusqu’alors en charge du centre de formation, a été catapulté manager. Il sera épaulé par Benoît Paillauge (attaque), Geoffrey Doumayrou (défense), Didier Bès (mêlée), Antoine Battut (touche, maul, jeu des avants) Benson Stanley (jeu au sol) et Jérémy Valls (jeu au pied).

Mohed Altrad assume la nomination de novices (Caudullo et Paillauge) aux postes les plus importants : « C’est un challenge car aucun n’a été coach de haut niveau. J’assume ma responsabilité. Est-ce qu’ils sont capables de durer ? Chaque année, quatre à cinq clubs changent d’entraîneurs mais on ne parle que de nous, je ne comprends pas. »

Il n’a pas tort. Mais d’autres réussissent mieux comme l’Union Bordeaux-Bègles entraîné par Yannick Bru (3e) ou le Stade Français avec Karim Ghezal (2e) qui étaient arrivés en début de saison. Le souci au MHR, c’est que depuis 2019 et le départ de Vern Cotter, c’est le cinquième changement de coach au club quand on sait que la stabilité peut être un élément essentiel dans le succès d’une équipe.

Il faut voir par exemple Ugo Mola, entraîneur depuis neuf ans du leader Stade Toulousain (il a remplacé Guy Novès qui y était resté 22 ans) ou Ronan O’Gara qui dirige depuis cinq ans le Stade Rochelais (5e).

Sur le droit chemin

Côté joueur aussi il y a du changement avec l’arrivée pour deux ans de l’Ecossais Stuart Hogg qui avait pourtant juré il y a près d’un an qu’il était temps de prendre sa retraite (et qui depuis a souvent fait la Une des faits divers sur fond d’alcool). Il espère le remettre dans les clous tout comme Mohamed Haouas, condamné à 18 mois de prison, dont neuf ferme, pour violences conjugales en mai 2023.

La lueur pourrait venir de Madosh Tambwe (27 ans), l’ailier congolais qui a procuré des moments de magie à Bordeaux-Bègles cette saison et qui a signé « pour deux ou trois saisons ».

Altrad en appelle au travail, à la solidarité et file la métaphore, appelant à « construire quelque chose ; la vie, c’est bâtir et rebâtir ». Cette fois sera-t-elle la bonne ?

Brumbies on high alert: Len Ikitau’s stark warning over ex-boss

Exploring new cultures, meeting people, and experiencing the world has been a lifelong dream of mine. Last year, I decided to plan a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Europe. I spent months researching destinations, creating itineraries, and saving up $8000 for the adventure. When I came across a travel agency offering an unbeatable package deal, I thought I had struck gold. The website looked professional, the reviews seemed genuine, and the agent I spoke to was incredibly persuasive. I paid the full amount upfront, excited to finally make my dream trip a reality. However, as the departure date approached, I noticed red flags. My emails to the agency went unanswered, and when I tried calling, the number was disconnected. Panic set in as I realized I had been scammed. My dream trip was slipping away, and I had lost $8000.Devastated, I turned to Tech Cyber Force Recovery for help. I had heard about their success in tracing online fraud and recovering funds for victims like me. I provided them with all the details: the fake website, the transaction records, and the emails from the scammer. Tech Cyber Force Recovery team was incredibly understanding and assured me they would do everything possible to help. Using their expertise in digital forensics, they traced the scammer’s digital footprint and identified the offshore account to which my money had been transferred. They worked tirelessly with international authorities to freeze the account and recover the funds. Within a few weeks, they successfully returned the $8000 to me. The relief was indescribable.

Thanks to Tech Cyber Force Recovery, I was able to rebook my trip through a legitimate agency and finally embark on my dream adventure. They didn’t just recover my funds; they restored my faith in justice and gave me the chance to create unforgettable memories.

James O'Connor earns first Crusaders start against Moana Pasifika

My partner and I had always been cautious investors, but like many others, we fell victim to an investment scheme that promised high returns in the cryptocurrency space. The company had a sleek website, a compelling pitch, and even endorsements from supposed financial experts. It all looked legitimate—until it wasn’t. One morning, as I checked our crypto wallet, my stomach dropped. The 350 ETH we had transferred was gone. The platform was suddenly inaccessible, support emails bounced back, and the so-called “investment managers” had disappeared. Panic set in. My partner, Lisa, tried to remain calm, but I could see the worry in her eyes. This was our hard-earned savings, and we had been scammed. Determined not to give up, we scoured the internet for help. That’s when we came across Galaxy Ethical Tech—a company specializing in ethical blockchain investigations and asset recovery. Their reputation was impeccable, and they had successfully helped many people retrieve lost funds from fraudulent crypto schemes. With nothing to lose, we reached out. Galaxy Ethical Tech assigned us a dedicated blockchain forensics expert, Daniel, who listened patiently to our story. He assured us that their technology could trace our stolen Ethereum across multiple wallets, even if the scammers had tried to obscure the transactions. Using advanced blockchain analytics and AI-driven tracing, Daniel and his team mapped out the movement of our ETH. The scammers had funneled the funds through multiple wallets and mixing services, but Galaxy Ethical Tech’s algorithms identified patterns in the transactions. Within 72 hours, they pinpointed where the stolen Ethereum had been consolidated. The next step was enforcement. Galaxy Ethical Tech collaborated with cybercrime authorities and blockchain security networks to freeze the identified wallets. They also leveraged their ethical hacking team to monitor real-time movements and prevent further laundering of the funds.Within two weeks, we received an email that made our hearts race. A significant portion of our 350 ETH had been recovered! Galaxy Ethical Tech coordinated with an exchange compliance team to ensure the funds were returned to our wallet. The relief was overwhelming. We had gone from despair to gratitude, all thanks to the ethical, transparent, and highly skilled approach of Galaxy Ethical Tech. Their AI-powered forensics, legal partnerships, and ethical hacking had saved us from a devastating loss.Today, Lisa and I are more cautious than ever in the crypto space, and we actively educate others on avoiding scams. But if there’s one thing we know for sure, it’s this: when technology is used ethically, it can do wonders—even reclaim what was thought to be lost forever.Galaxy Ethical Tech didn’t just recover our Ethereum. They restored our faith in the power of ethical innovation.contact them via Email: galaxyethicaltech@mail.comWhatsapp: +15072712442Telegram: Galaxy_ethical_tech
