BREAKING: Clermont gamble on "The Aussie" Hugo Dempsey
Front Page: La Montagne – June 14, 2025
The headline in today's La Montagne is simple but striking: "LE PARI AUSTRALIEN" (The Australian Bet).
This morning, Clermont Foot 63 stunned the French football establishment by appointing Hugo Dempsey, a 36-year-old Australian manager with no European experience, as their new head coach.
Dempsey, whose resume consists entirely of overachieving with NPL clubs in Melbourne, arrives in Auvergne with a reputation for high-risk, high-reward football.
When asked what he knew about the Clermont region, Dempsey responded "They told me Clermont is a city of volcanoes," Dempsey joked in his opening press conference. "Good. Because we intend to play football that erupts."
