Thomas Lamora, president of Caen HB, analyzes the exceptional run of his promoted club, which is riding an unprecedented wave of victories dating back to 2020.
Caen HB is achieving what few observers would have anticipated upon its promotion to the StarLigue. With a record of five wins and four losses, the team has climbed to eighth place in the overall standings. This position places the Norman club at the top of its category in terms of consistency for a promoted side, a rare feat in French top-tier handball.
President Thomas Lamora highlights the major impact of the team dynamic established by the coach, nicknamed “Seb.” According to him, this technical leadership has instilled a solid playing identity that has captivated both the public and the players. The pride of the coaching staff and the club's management is palpable, as the team demonstrates on the pitch a capacity to compete with far better-established rivals in terms of financial and human resources.
By comparing this season to Limoges' 2020-2021 campaign, this historical reference underscores the magnitude of the current achievement. Since that date, Caen HB has been the best promoted team to sign such a strong start in the French championship. This performance strikes imaginations and confirms that the promotion was not merely an administrative formality for the residents of the Alpine Arena.
Despite the enthusiasm, the tone remains measured. Thomas Lamora insists on the need to keep one's feet on the ground in the face of the growing adversity that awaits the club in the decisive phase of the season. He reminds everyone that the StarLigue championship does not forgive lapses and that stability must be preserved without succumbing to overestimations linked to recent results.
The attachment of the supporters plays a crucial role in this trajectory. By creating a supportive environment, the club turns every away game or home fixture into a motivating challenge. The objective remains to maintain this consistency until the end, proving that Caen HB's place in the elite is legitimate and sustainable, far from being an ephemeral interlude.
