It’s the end of the adventure for Olivier Dall’Oglio in Saint-Étienne. The club has just announced, this Saturday, December 14, 2024, the end of the collaboration between the coach and the professional team. The Greens remain with another defeat away, this Friday against Toulouse (1-2).
One year and then gone
The former coach of Dijon, Brest and even Montpellier arrived in Forez on December 12, 2023. Aged 60, he will have remained on the Saint-Etienne bench almost a year to the day. After a return to the elite, AS Saint-Étienne is having a complicated start to the season in Ligue 1. In 15 matches, Saint-Étienne has four wins, one draw and ten defeats. In the ranking, ASSE is provisionally 16th and a barrier.
According to our information, it was a strategic and not an emotional decision that was taken, with a coach who, if we are to believe some of his recent comments, did not seem to sufficiently adhere to the Kilmer project in the long term.
Laurent Huard on the bench
For the moment, Olivier Dall’Oglio is relieved of his duties while waiting for the departure procedure to be put in place. In a press release, ASSE specifies that “until further notice, the supervision of the professional team will be provided by Laurent Huard, Director of the ASSE Training Center.“Laurent Huard had already taken over as interim last season after the eviction of Laurent Battles. Sunday December 22, ASSE will play a 32nd final of the Coupe de France in the Chaudron against Olympique de Marseille.
