In agreement with the president of the federation concerned, the staff carrying out the role of national technical director draw up national technical guidelines which are updated annually. They inform the Minister for Sport of these guidelines and then send them to the national coaches, national technical advisors and regional technical advisors.
The functional relationships between, on the one hand, the agents carrying out the duties of sports technical advisors and, on the other hand, depending on the case, the president of the federation, regional league or regional committee concerned, are set out in the framework agreement provided for in article R. 131-23. When they are recruited or seconded on contract, these agents are assessed, depending on the case, by the Minister responsible for sport or by the head of the decentralised department to which they report in the light of information provided in particular by the federation under conditions specified in the framework agreement.
