Emotional speech from manager spurs Toulouse on to avoid the Ligue 1 drop

Toulouse went into the final game of the season last weekend needing a dramatic turn of results avoid relegation from Ligue 1.

The Southern French side had experienced a difficult campaign, winning just eight league games and they knew that a defeat at mid table Angers would secure a return to the second division.

Thankfully Toulouse manager Pascal Dupraz had a cunning plan up his sleeve.

After making an impassioned speech to his players before the game, the former Evian boss showed his players a video showing messages of support from the players’ friends and family.

The team talk moved a number of players to tears and must have done the job as Dupraz’s side secured a 3-2 victory to stay up by a single point.
