Olympic champion Vincent Gérard is set to leave Saint-Raphaël for Kiel in Germany. The five-time French champion has played for Montpellier, Dunkirk and PSG.

Kiel offers a freelance job to a little-known goalkeeper from Dunkirk: Samir Bellahcene. He plays two preparation matches in August, and that's it. A stubborn pubalgia overtakes him. The interim contract turns into a definitive contract, because the latter imposes itself and pushes the former French champion towards the exit.
