Toulouse manager Pascal Dupraz prepped his side ahead of Saturday's Ligue 1 safety-securing, come-from-behind victory over Angers with an impassioned speech and video fitting for the consequences.

Dupraz was his characteristically poignant self in reminding Les Pitchouns that they were capable and deserving of top-flight football before showing a video of the players' wives and children persuading the Mid-Pyrenees side to victory.
Sitting second from bottom, 10 points from safety with 10 matches to play, Dupraz was appointed to salvage an underwhelming campaign. Toulouse then caught fire, winning five of 10 paired with a lone defeat at Lille to vault Reims and Gazelec Ajaccio into 17th place.
