Arriving with the new management, AS Saint-Etienne recruiter Jaeson Rosenfeld uses data to choose recruits. A rare system in France, where FC Lorient has reason to regret its use after its descent to Ligue 2.
With four points collected over the last two days of Ligue 1, AS Saint-Etienne stopped the bleeding. The promoted team had put an end to a catastrophic start to the season, notably marked by the 8-0 suffered in Nice. At that time, many observers criticized the recruitment of the Greens orchestrated behind the scenes by Jaeson Rosenfeld. Arriving with the new owner Kilmer Sports Ventures, the Saint-Etienne recruiter, building on what the club was doing before the change of management, bases his work on data.
Loïc Perrin’s collaborator uses advanced software allowing him to follow players from 100 championships around the world. A trendy tool if we are to believe former Stade Rennais recruiter Guillaume Duriatti. “ I haven’t seen it, but I’ve already heard about it.he told the media EVECT. What was explained to me is that it is a more complete tool compared to others with which we may be used to working such as Hudl or InStat. » But according to him, relying solely on data to recruit can be dangerous.
The example of Lorient
« To my knowledge, there are only Saint-Etienne and Toulouse. Lorient also did it and it cost them their place in Ligue 1recalled the scouting consultant. I don’t know of any other teams relying only on that. Most other clubs continue to go to players they find interesting. The data is used to validate strong points, they are added to scout reports but supervision is not only done with this tool. » AS Saint-Etienne has been warned.
