Utaka deciphers Montpellier's failure, relegated to Ligue 2: "Perhaps they lacked a bit of solidarity"
The former MHSC striker, who still coaches the youth system and the women's section, laments the Hérault team's lack of experience, particularly offensively. He also remembers the team's solidarity as champions in 2012, an aspect that was lacking this season.
By Samuel GothotMontpellier is never forgotten. Most players who have played for MHSC will tell you that it's difficult to leave this family club or forget their time in its colors. John Utaka, who is still assistant manager of the U19s and oversees the forwards at the youth academy and the club's women's team, knows all about it.
French champion in 2012 with Olivier Giroud , Younès Belhanda, Rémy Cabella and the golden generation of MHSC, he looks ahead to this catastrophic 2024-2025 season for Montpellier, who will leave Ligue 1 after 16 consecutive years in the elite. This Saturday (9 p.m.), a penultimate meeting, against PSG , is coming up.
