He would not be in imminent danger, according to L'Equipe he will officiate on the bench for the Greens' next match against RC Strasbourg. But Olivier Dall'Oglio is on a rather unfavorable waiver after the defeat of ASSE this weekend (4-2) in Angers, on the ground of another promoted and direct opponent for remaining in Ligue 1.
Three ex-ASSE players are on the market
His position weakened, ODO is even preceded in the columns of L'Equipe by a name who could succeed him: Wilfried Nancy who manages the Columbus Crew in MLS. ASSE would be interested in this 47-year-old French technician, who left France for North America almost twenty years ago. We have identified others, technicians who, unlike Wilfried Nancy, are contractually free.
This means that there would be no compensatory compensation to pay to recruit them. In a mission like that of Saint-Etienne, which is to save the club in the elite, you need men experienced in the role. Three of them are exes, and if love stories “usually end badly,” as the song says, they at least have the advantage of knowing the place. There is Claude Puel, Laurent Battle and Pascal Dupraz there. Not all of them left very good memories, but it was in another life of the club, under another governance.
Technicians experienced in the question of maintenance
With them, Michel Der Zakarian who has just been fired from the MHSC. He has the experience, a generally positive record and what's more, he is surely revengeful against his former Montpellier players who are also fighting to maintain their position.
For three other technicians experienced in Ligue 1 and with a slightly more premium CV, Patrick Vieira whom RC Strasbourg Alsace dismissed at the very start of the season, Jocelyn Gourvennec with a half-baked career on his performances as a professional coach and again Philippe Montanier, author of a very convincing stint at TFC, which he raised to Ligue 1, kept in the elite and with which he won the Coupe de France.
Two profiles finally alert on the subject of maintenance: Stéphane Moulin who often played it with Angers SCO and Jean-Marc Furlan, the man of accessions to Ligue 1 (five on his personal CV).
