Prendergast is relishing the challenge but says there is a lot of work to be done.

“There’s alot of work to be done. We did a bit of recruitment. I think with getting Gael Fickou and Yoann Meastri, by us getting them, there was a lot of media around that.”

“There is a lot of excitement but realism as well.”

“Coming to Paris, the job is the main thing i was looking at. That’s what I’m excited about, looking forward to working with these coaches and these players.”

“Trying to build something, exciting times but work to be done.”
