Dominique Arribagé offered his resignation yesterday after a 2-1 defeat to Rennes has almost certainly condemned TFC to relegation to Ligue 2. He took over at the Toulouse football club at the end of last season, just saving them from relegation that season. But apart from a brief spell before Christmas the club has struggled at the foot all year. Saturday's defeat, which saw Rennes score twice in stoppage time, was the last straw for the manager who had had disciplinary problems with players last week.
Arribé does not possess a coaching badge and therefore the club had to pay a fine each match. Owner Olivier Sadran rescued the club from bankruptcy 15 years ago and is confident that it will quickly regain its place in Ligue 1.
