BCMess is pleased to announce new coaching and player changes for the 2025/2026 season.

Coach João Janeiro, who has done an excellent job over the past three seasons with the BCMess Men’s A team and several youth teams, will become the new Head Coach of the BCMess Women’s team. He will continue to strengthen the women's section and will replace Beatriz Jordão, who is moving to T71 to restart her playing career. We wish her all the best for the future.

Coach João Janeiro will also continue his outstanding work with various youth teams and will further expand the club’s partnership with several schools in the region.

The new Head Coach of the BCMess Men’s A team will be Stéphane Frentzel. Stéphane was the Head Coach of Metz Canonniers until 2022. Prior to that, he was Assistant Coach at Charleville-Mézières (Pro B) and Châlons-Reims (Pro A).

In addition to Coach Frentzel, several new players will join the Men’s A team. Cobie Barnes, a 6'7" swingman from Indiana, will join DeAnthony McCallum, who is entering his second season with the club. Cobie played last season in Uruguay, and some highlights can be viewed here : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8hQbf3Pswk
