Amazing fifth of Ligue 2 at the time of the 2024 end-of-year holidays, the FC Annecy exceeds expectations this season and begins to establish itself as a real sure bet in the championship! It is in the Coupe de France that the Haut-Savoyard club will end the calendar year with a round of 32 match against the GOAL FC (N2), near Lyon, which must result in qualification so as not to end up with regrets.

“When we play against teams who play at lower levels but who are nevertheless not inferior in our matches, we have to get to the point, give the maximum. Through this maximum, we will be able to obtain a qualification. We don’t know on the day what will happen, GOAL is a consistent club which has had results for several years. There is the legitimate motivation to play against a Ligue 2 club… We know very well that we will have to be mentally ready to be able to exist in this match. We have shown that we do not take this competition lightly. »
The transfer window will soon open its doors
“In 2024, we would be 3rd in Ligue 2 behind Dunkirk and Paris… I am not going to appear to give positions to strengthen, names. I am happy with the group I work with. We know that we have fewer budgetary constraints since there have been no restrictions from the DNCG, but we will not be able to recruit 4 starters to considerably improve the level of the team. There are surely adjustments to be made, we identify them. We will have to see what can be done. As I speak, players on whom we have not relied much recently may leave us, even if we still have to find agreements. But for the moment, it’s a very calm transfer window, perhaps because we’re approaching it with more serenity than last year. »
