Former Paris Saint-Germain player Laure Boulot has joined the technical staff of FC Canal, the club announced today. Bulo, who retired from professional football in 2021, will become the team’s new head consultant as it prepares for the upcoming season. “I am very excited to join the Canal FC family,” Bulot said in a statement. “This is a great opportunity for me to get back into the game and share my experience with a talented group of players. I can’t wait to get started and help the club achieve its goals this season.”
Bulot spent 8 seasons playing for PSG where he made over 200 appearances and won several domestic titles. He has worked as a pundit and commentator since retiring, but this new role marks his first foray into coaching at professional level. FC Canal finished mid-table last season and will be hoping that Bulot's arrival will help propel them to new heights next campaign. Fans are eagerly awaiting what the former midfielder can bring to the club.
The void left by Marie Portolano's departure from the Canal+ Football Club magazine will not remain empty for long. Indeed, Lore Bouleau, former player of Paris Saint-Germain and the French team, is joining the Sunday show for the new school year. The private channel specifies, however, that Bouleau will not be co-organizer of the CFC, but will instead assume the role of consultant for both men's and women's football. This is a good thing since Canal+ will broadcast the women's D1 championship in the new school year.
Bouleau will certainly bring a wealth of experience and insight to the show. As a decorated player who has spent many years at the highest level, her expertise will be invaluable in helping viewers better understand the tactics, challenges and intrigues unfolding across the French football landscape. Fans will be eager to hear her unique perspective on the latest developments, from the performances of top teams and players to the wider trends shaping the game.
Beyond simply recaps of the on-field action, Bouleau is also expected to provide in-depth analysis and commentary that goes further than typical post-match punditry. His ability to break down the finer points of strategy, formations and player roles will likely give viewers a more nuanced understanding of how top club and national teams operate.
Even though she won’t be taking on an official hosting role, Bouleau’s presence will certainly add a new dynamic to the program. With her engaging personality and passion for the sport, she’ll likely quickly become a fan favorite, bringing new energy and a new voice to Canal+’s football coverage.
It’s an exciting time for the channel and its football programming. With a respected former player like Bouleau joining the team, viewers can expect an even more engaging and informative viewing experience in the months to come. His insights and analysis will certainly enhance the overall quality of the show and provide a valuable complement to the existing presenters and pundits.
