Coaching Benali

Last updated : 24 June 2002 By Christian Kelly

The club are keen to retain the services of Francis Benali beyond his playing career. Francis has been offered a role in coaching the reserves next season. If things go well, Franny could retain the post after he retires. Franny said: ''I just enjoy playing for the club. It has been my life since I was 12 and if that is what they want me to do, then I will do it.''

This is excellent news as Franny is Saints through and through and will have a lot of knowledge to pass on to the youngsters.
