Holder of a Master's degree in sports journalism, I fell in love with tennis since childhood and have always loved reading the great stories of this sport. Today, I want to tell them about them, take full advantage of my passion and be as close as possible to the aces of the circuit.

In difficulty since the start of the season, AS Saint-Etienne has not been able to take off from the end of the Ligue 1 ranking. For its return to the elite of French football, the Saint-Etienne club ended up making the decision to separate from Olivier Dall'Oglio. The coach has just been replaced by Eirik Horneland, a Norwegian technician, who perfectly meets ASSE's expectations.

Only 16th in Ligue 1 at the end of this year 2024, theASSE will have a lot to do to regain good momentum. THE Greens will first have a final meeting in front of theABOUT in French Cup Sunday, and they will welcome at their head Eirik HornelandreplacingOlivier Dall'Oglio. In recent days, the feeling has passed between the Norwegian and the Saint-Etienne leaders.

Horneland already ready to take on the challenge

49 year old coach, Eirik Horneland will have his first experience abroad. But he is not afraid to impose himself directly upon his arrival. “I am here to bring a collective style: to give confidence, to capitalize on the energy given by the fans. We will work in the short term, yes, but also in the long term. We must have a disciplined style of play, whether defensively or offensively. I want an active team, which goes on the offensive very quickly, while being rigorous defensively. This is something that seems possible to me with the help of this stadium. (…) With our work, over time, I hope that observers will see a true identity. We must be proactive. Values ​​and team spirit are things that mean a lot to me. We need offensive presence, that is to say bringing a lot of players into the area” he declared at a press conference this Friday.

“It corresponds to our values”

Obviously convinced by the profile of his new find, Huss Fahmythe operations director of theASSEdid not hesitate to share his joy. “Each time we spoke with him, we were ever more certain that he matched our values, our attention to detail, the intensity we wanted” he specifies at a press conference.
