Le sélectionneur Sébastien Migné n’est plus, ce mercredi, à la tête d’Haïti après un communiqué de la Fédération. slot-chickenroad.org

Après une expérience d’adjoint de Rigobert sur le banc du Cameroun entre 2022 et 2024, le technicien français Sébastien Migné était devenu sélectionneur d’Haïti en mars 2024 et a dirigé 27 matchs des Grenadiers jusqu’à son départ, ces dernières heures, annoncé officiellement par la Fédération haïtienne de football dans un communiqué.

Après avoir qualifié la nation 88e au classement mondial, il avait concédé trois défaites dans le groupe C face au Brésil, l’Ecosse et le Maroc avec deux buts inscrits lors du dernier match contre les Lions de l’Atlas. La Fédération indique être « parvenu, ce jour, à un accord avec le sélectionneur national, M. Sébastien Migné, mettant fin, d’un commun accord et à l’amiable, à leur collaboration ».

Elle a rendu hommage au technicien français salué pour « son professionnalisme, son engagement et son dévouement », et remercié chaleureusement « pour sa contribution au développement du football haïtien », dans des mots écrits par la FHF dans son message.

Springbok loose forward Kwagga Smith admits it’s been “tough” dealing with the most serious injury of his career.

The 33-year-old suffered a knee injury while playing for his Japanese club, the Shizuoka Blue Revs, in May that ruled him out for the remainder of the year, including the Rugby’s Greatest Rivalry series against the All Blacks.

Speaking at FNB Stadium at the launch of Castle Double Malt as title sponsor of the New Zealand tour, Smith revealed how difficult the rehabilitation process has been.

“Everything is new to me,” he said. “I’ve never had an injury this big in my whole career.

“I’m taking it step-by-step, following the medical staff and what they are telling me to do. We are taking it easy and we are not rushing it. We want to make sure that when I’m back, I will be back for the last bit of my career.

“Mentally, it’s tough.”

Smith’s injury opened the door for Stormers opensider Paul de Villiers, who was included in the Springbok squad for the Nations Championship Tests in July.

With Siya Kolisi suffering a hamstring injury before the Boks’ opener against England at Ellis Park, De Villiers was thrust into the starting lineup for his debut and wore the No 6 jersey again against Scotland at Loftus Versfeld.

Smith believes the 23-year-old has grabbed his opportunity with both hands.

“I saw him when we were at the alignment camp, when I popped in at the hotel, and he was one of the first guys to talk to me and ask for advice,” Smith said.

“That’s special because it shows he’s a person willing to learn and that’s really important.

“For Rassie [Erasmus], it’s about players who are buying in, willing to learn and learning the ways he wants you to play.

“He has been playing really well. He has a great future in front of him.”

BAKKIES: Something is gonna bleed or break

The 63-Test Bok added that the growing competition for places forces everyone to raise their game.

“The young boys are coming through,” he said. “I put myself in their shoes when I was younger; you get that opportunity and you give it your everything.

“The competition is good. If there’s healthy competition, you know that when you get back, you have to be in top form. It’s better for your game.”
