Former Rodez coach Laurent Peyrelade has joined Bastia in Ligue 3 on a two-year deal with an option for a third year. Peyrelade led Rodez from 2015 to 2022, helping the club rise from CFA to Ligue 2. Since leaving Aveyron, he has had less successful stints at Versailles, Grenoble and Agde. The Corsican club confirmed Peyrelade's arrival, presenting him as the third former Rodez coach to take the Bastia bench after Frédéric Hantz and Régis Brouard.
