The Girondins de Bordeaux formalized the arrival of Vladimir Petkovic on Tuesday evening with a short video in which the successor of Jean-Louis Gasset is above all presented as the man who managed to bring down the Blues in the round of 16 of the Euro .

The clip includes painful images of Kylian Mbappé missing his face-to-face with the Swiss goalkeeper during the shooting session and images of the match in black and white, accompanied by a voice-over and embedded comments: “
We all remember that moment. We remember exactly where we were and with whom. A sad evening for us and a magical moment for the Swiss. Impossible to imagine such a scenario. Impossible to imagine my players eliminated in the round of 16. However. A coach believed it. From beginning to end.
"
A hymn to the glory of Petkovic biting the dust with the Blues which went badly with some Internet users. “

I sincerely hope that you will be relegated to Ligue 2,

Well done really, really smart. The whole of France will hate you. A good relegation is all you deserve,

Welcome and thank you Vlad.

This is an announcement that will not necessarily delight some fans of the France team, but - at least - it will please all our supporters,
" said the club, fully assuming its bold communication to announce the arrival of the man who led the Swiss selection for seven years.
