Faugeron and Broncan join Elissalde

Bayonne have confirmed Didier Faugeron and Pierre-Henry Broncan will assist new boss Jean-Pierre Elissalde until the end of the season. Former France international Elissalde was brought in on Tuesday following the club's decision to axe Christian Gajan, Thomas Lièvremont and Frédéric Tauzin. The trio paid the price for the club's poor start to the season, with the big-spending outfit languishing in 11th place in the Top 14 table. Faugeron will now look after the backs, having left his role at Stade Français at the end of last season. Broncan, the head coach of third division outfit Colombiers, has joined Bayonne on a part-time basis to work with the forwards. Meanwhile, president Michel Caoucault will step down at the end of the season to be replaced by majority shareholder Alain Afflelou.
