Noves dismisses future talk after Springboks loss
Print Edition
France coach Guy Noves said he would not answer questions about his future after his side suffered an 17-18 defeat against a troubled South Africa team in their second November test on Saturday.
French federation chief Bernard Laporte, himself an ex-France coach, had set Noves, the former Toulouse boss and France鈥檚 most successful club coach, a target for 3 wins in 4 games in the November series.
France, however, has now lost 3 out of 3 following last week鈥檚 18-38 defeat against New Zealand and the reserve team鈥檚 loss against the All Blacks鈥 second string earlier this week.
France鈥檚 final game is against Japan next Saturday.
When asked about his future, Noves said: 鈥淲ith all due respect, you鈥檙e tiring me with this question.
鈥淢y future, I won鈥檛 answer questions about it. I don鈥檛 ask myself questions about my future...
鈥淚f my future depends on defeats, I can鈥檛 control that. You should ask the questions to the people who own my future.鈥
Under Noves, who led Toulouse to four European Cup titles and nine French championships, France has lost 13 of 20 games since its quarterfinal exit at the 2015 World Cup.
After a few promising performances, where they showed poise and inspiration, Les Bleus have fallen back. 鈥淭here is no creativity and no efficiency,鈥 said former France flanker Olivier Magne, the France U-20 coach.
