Bordeaux: Etienne Beugré takes aim at club's sporting director | OneFootball

Etienne Beugré

Ivorian international Etienne Beugré has fired a shot at John Williams, Bordeaux's sporting director, accusing him of keeping him off the pitch.

Bordeaux kicked off their National 2 campaign this Saturday with a 0-0 draw against Avranches. Coach Bruno Irles couldn't even count on his striker Etienne Beugré. The Ivorian joined the club last January from NK Maribor. Since then, he's been earning a massive salary for National 2 standards—€10,000 gross per month. This has prompted the club to seek his departure, especially as he has only scored 2 goals in 14 matches.

Despite being sidelined, the player wants to help the team while waiting for a possible transfer. He made this clear on his Instagram account, posting a story addressed to sporting director John Williams. "Ready to help my teammates! I've been waiting 40 days for director John Williams to send me the necessary documents for my work visa at the French Embassy in Abidjan! I know I can help the team and I'm being paid to do so! Out of sight, but close to heart." he wrote.
