This is a first for the Canaries. From this summer, they will have a real recruitment unit. This Monday, Ouest France reveals that it will be led by Baptiste Drouet, appointed recruitment officer. He will be responsible for supervising players in France and abroad for the recruitment of the professional workforce. Franck Kita will take on the role of negotiator.

Drouet, a former recruiter from Lorient, will be supported by Philippe Mao, the club’s sports coordinator. The new Nantes recruitment manager is already at work to reinforce a Nantes workforce that came close to relegation last season.
