This Saturday, AS Saint-Etienne welcomes Stade de Reims, with a new coach on the bench, Eirik Horneland. This will be the third in the last three matches since Olivier Dall'Oglio was still at the head of the Greens on December 8 for the reception of OM (0-2) in L1 but he had been replaced by Laurent Huard for that in the Coupe de France (0-4) on the 22nd. The Norwegian will experience his baptism of fire in the Cauldron, with the desire to return to victory, a month and a half after the last one, against Montpellier (1-0). Disappointing during the first part of the season, the Stéphanois must recover in 2025 to move away from the red zone and not jeopardize the Kilmer Sports project.
“With the strength of Geoffroy-Guichard, Saint-Etienne cannot go down”
On RMC, Walid Acherchour explained why ASSE could not go down this season. Among all these arguments, one stands out: there are many weaker than her, notably Le Havre and Montpellier. “We have had very few thrills with Saint-Etienne since the start of the season and a lot of debacles. But Saint-Etienne cannot go down. Not in this Ligue 1 to 18, with clubs which were unable to recruit, like Montpellier, Le Havre, Auxerre or Angers. ASSE spent money this summer and will continue in January. They took risks in recruitment, with €10 million for Stassin, for example. We expected better. But with the strength of Geoffroy-Guichard, Saint-Etienne cannot go down. The rate of points at the bottom of the rankings is very low. It would be a big disappointment to see them go down to L2, especially since it's very hard to get out. »
