We have listed the first three major projects awaiting the new coach of AS Saint-Étienne, Eirik Horneland.
Restore confidence to the group
The least we can say is that the Greens ended the year 2024 badly. After setbacks in the league against Stade Rennais (5-0), against Olympique de Marseille (0-2) and in Toulouse (2-1), the Greens closed the year with another defeat against OM (0-4) in the 32nd final of the Coupe de France. One of the first objectives for Eirik Horneland will therefore be to restore confidence to the Saint-Etienne players, who have only scored one small goal in these four matches and conceded no less than 13…
Put your playing principles in place
Coach focused on possession and offensive play, Eirik Horneland will have work to put his playing principles in place. Especially since ASSE was more focused on defense with Olivier Dall’Oglio since the start of the season. But the new coach of the Greens will be able to take advantage of the winter break to assimilate as many things as possible to his new players between now and the first match of 2025, which will be against Stade de Reims on January 4.
Floor on the winter transfer window
Even if Eirik Horneland said during his presentation to the press that the winter transfer window was not a priority for him at the moment, this should nevertheless be the case because Sainté really needs reinforcements to maintain his position during the second part of the season. The Norwegian technician will therefore have to quickly discuss with Kilmer Sports to establish the needs and start launching the first tracks.
