Jean Tigana set for crunch Bordeaux talks on Monday
The 2009 champions are mired in midtable and lost 5-1 at FC Lorient last weekend but had appeared to give their under pressure coach a boost by beating Auxerre 3-0 on Saturday.
Girondins Bordeaux coach Jean Tigana could leave the club on Monday after he was coy about a meeting with the owner, French press reports said on Sunday. The 2009 champions are mired in midtable and lost 5-1 at FC Lorient last weekend but had appeared to give their under pressure coach a boost by beating Auxerre 3-0 on Saturday. After the match, though, an enigmatic Tigana told reporters: "I am waiting for a meeting with (owner) Nicolas de Taversnost on Monday. I will give you (the media) an answer on Monday evening." French media took that to mean the former Fulham coach, who only took over at Bordeaux in the close-season when Laurent Blanc left to coach France, could announce his departure.
