After 29 Ligue 2 days, the DFCO is in 19th place with 26 points. The Dijonnais are seven points behind Pau FC, 16th and first non-relegation with 33 points.
Dupraz succeeds Daf
After three consecutive defeats and in order to avoid relegation to National, the DFCO decided to dismiss Omar Daf and according to information from our colleagues from The teamhis successor should be Pascal Dupraz.
Information confirmed a few hours later by the DFCO. Pascal Dupraz coached Evian-Thonon-Gaillard (2012-2015), Toulouse (March 2016-January 2018), Caen (October 2019-March 2021) and Saint-Etienne (December 2021-June 2022).

Accustomed to playing firefighters on duty to help clubs maintain themselves, Pascal Dupraz (60), however, remains on a failure with the Greens. The Saint-Etienne club had indeed been relegated to Ligue 2 on May 29, 2022 after being beaten on penalties by AJ Auxerre during the Ligue 1/Ligue 2 play-off.
Pascal Dupraz will direct his first match at the head of Dijon on Saturday April 8 for the reception of Rodez.
A match that will not be easy for the Dijonnais since the Ruthénois, who occupy 13th place with 34 points, have just won their last four Ligue 2 matches.
