French champions Metz Handball finished their matches too early in the Champions League last season. This poor apperance was the main reason for the big changes in the club.
Many players left the club, including the coach of the team too, who is being replaced by the coach from french national team staff - Sébastien Gardillou.

One of the best french players in the last decade Isabelle Wendling decieded to end her carrer after the end of the season. Delphine Guehl & Vesna Horacek are also leaving from the handball field.
On the other site Nina Kamto is coming back after one season break due to pregnancy.  The best signing so far for the team was the right handed back - Lidija Horvat, who is coming in the team from Buducnost T- Mobile.
