Artificial pitch switch On 17 May 2010, the Ligue de Football Professionnel announced that, for the first time in French football history, two clubs, Lorient and Nancy, will switch the surface of their football pitch from grass to artificial turf. This type of surface is common in North America and Eastern Europe, but is considered rare in Western Europe. Both clubs attributed the switch to weather and ecological problems with severe cold fronts affecting their region every winter. The switch would, in turn, reduce energy costs and also avoid cancellations of matches due to a frozen pitch. Also, in Lorient's case, a constant proliferation of earthworms onto their pitch over the past two seasons have led to a rapid deterioration of the ground, which has forced the club to spend as much as €2 million to replace it. Both clubs will have pre-season tours of Russia, Austria, and Norway to become better acclimated with the surface.Lorient et Nancy, pionniers du synthétique http://www.footpro.fr/corporate/article/lorient-et-nancy-pionniers-du-synthetique.htm Ligue de Football Professionnel Footpro 17 May 2010 20 May 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20120313202919/http://www.footpro.fr/corporate/article/lorient-et-nancy-pionniers-du-synthetique.htm 13 March 2012 dead New national team manager On 16 May 2010, Laurent Blanc confirmed his departure from Bordeaux after three seasons in charge of the French outfit.
