Laurent Labit and Laurent Travers: Heading to Paris?

Castres Olympique co-coaches Laurent Travers and Laurent Labit have confirmed they will leave the French club at the end of the current season.

The duo, who have been at the Castres helm since 2009, have announced they will not renew their contracts when they expire in June, despite the best efforts of the club's principle financial backer, Pierre Fabre, to convince them to stay.

A Castres statement said that the announcement was made early to allow the club "to be ready for next season."

Travers and Labit have been working in tandem since 2004. They have been linked with potential moves to Biarritz, Lyon and Stade Français but their most likely destination is reportedly Racing-Metro

Castres face Ulster in the Heineken Cup on Friday.
