RETURN TO FRANCE
He returned to France to join Montpellier Castelnau Volley UC ahead of the 2020/21 Ligue A season, after playing abroad for the previous seven seasons in Germany, Turkey and Italy. "It was a decision I thought about for a long time. The rhythm of playing all year long in a foreign club and then playing with the national team during summers was already a burden for me because I was never at home and didn't see my family. I wanted to do a sort of break but I didn't come to Montpellier for a holiday. I came here with the same ambitions and the same will to win as if I were in a foreign team. And still it's not definitive. Who knows I may go to a foreign club once again in a couple of years. I just needed to be at home for a while." (ffvb.org, 07 Apr 2020; lequipe.fr, 07 Apr 2020)
