Toulouse have made an official approach to Motherwell to pursue Jens Berthel Askou as their new head coach. Askou led Motherwell to a fourth-placed finish in the Scottish Premiership, securing European football after a victory at Hibernian. Toulouse finished 10th in Ligue 1 after beating Lyon, and that win ended Carles Martinez Novell’s three-year tenure as Spanish coach. Negotiations are ongoing between Toulouse and Motherwell, but Fir Park sources indicate no agreement has been reached about Askou’s future. Askou has been praised for attractive attacking football since arriving last summer, including breaking defensive club records while maintaining brave, forward play that has drawn European interest.
