COUPE GAMBARDELLA CUP DRAW. Red Star have been given a hugely difficult task in the next round, but have the home advantage at least, against last years' beaten finalists Strasbourg. The match will take palce on Sunday 15th February. DH GAMES IN HAND. Details of the games in hand which have been played in Red Stars' division: Sunday January 11th MEAUX - EVRY : 0-3 (0-2).

The former directors of Red Star (Claude Thuel & Michel Castejon) have been found guilty of illegally firing Christophe Fiatte. On January 12th the Prud’hommes decided on the sentence to be handed out. In May 2002, Jean-Luc Girard at the end of his contract, and Christophe Fiatte who still had time left to run on his contract were booted out by Red Star, after thirty years loyal service between them. No indemnity, no letter of severance, no work certificate despite the validity of the contracts signed between employer & employee. Without the necessary papers, Christophe was even unable to sign on at the dole. A truly sorry state of affairs. So Fiatte turned to the courts and after 18 months of battles, finally he has been awarded 40 000 euros for his pains. He also will receive the necessary paperwork to enable hil to claim benefits and to register to get a new job. Christophe had to quit Paris to return to his home in the Dijon region, and he has gone on to pass the necessary coaching badges. One day, who knows perhaps we will see both Girard and Fiatte back at Saint-Ouen !      Left Christophe Fiatte along with a young Samuel Michel.

Jean Luc GIRARD, who for the majority of his career has been involved with Red Star as a player then latterly as coach, and since the start of the season has been the technical coordinator of the youth teams, assumes responsibility as sporting manager as well as coaching the first XI.
