Marc Collat, the Haitian squad's handyman
The years go by, but the passion is unchanging. Back on the Carribean squad's bench since a few weeks, Marc Collat has several functions. The 67 years-old French, Haiti men's senior squad's head coach, is also in charge of the U20 women's squad, which will take part to the Sud Ladies Cup from 5th to 10th June.

Head coach of the Haitian men's senior squad, Collat is also in charge of several youth squads, including the U20 women's squad which will play the Sud Ladies Cup from 5th to 10th June, in order to prepare the U20 World Cup in August.

I found again a lot of the freshness I lost these last years when I was head coach of professional or senior squads", added Collat in France Football magazine.
The coach wants to use the Sud Ladies Cup to carry out the last adjustments before the U20 World Cup... and observe Germany, as Haitian will face them during the competition in group round in August !
