May 30, 2008

TOULOUSE, May 30 (Ligue 1) - Toulouse have parted company with coach Elie Baup, the club's president Olivier Sadran confirmed on Friday.

Alain Casanova, Baup's assistant and a former goalkeeper at the club, will come in as a replacement.

'TFC have decided to part with Elie Baup,' Sadran said at a hastily convened press conference.

Les Violets finished in a disappointing 17th place in Ligue 1 this season, and only avoided relegation on the final day of the campaign.
