Jérôme Daret Made History With Award

On Sunday, November 24, 2024, in the iconic Salle des Étoiles in Monaco, Jérôme Daret, head coach of the gold medal-winning French Rugby 7s team at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, made history for two significant reasons. First, he became only the second Frenchman to receive the prestigious Coach of the Year award, following Bernard Laporte in 2002. Second, he broke new ground as the first-ever rugby sevens coach to claim the coveted trophy, which has traditionally been reserved for rugby union coaches. #rugby #france
