ASSE on the brink of the abyss: Supporters raise a cry of alarm
ASSE is going through a crisis at the end of the first half of the season. The team is threatened with relegation and the managers have sacked the coach Olivier Dall'Oglio. The supporters, for their part, are angry and feel humiliated by the Greens' poor performance, as evidenced by a powerful message displayed on a banner:
“Ten defeats in fifteen games, no away victories, historic defeats, no character on the pitch: wake up so that AS Saint-Étienne remains in its place, in Ligue 1”hammered the Green Angels.
Gazidis bets on Horneland to save AS Saint-Etienne
For the president of the Saint-Etienne club, it is certainly urgent to react to rectify the situation, but there is no danger in this matter. He assures that Eirik Horneland, the new Norwegian coach, is precisely the man for the job to get ASSE out of the bottom of the standings and avoid relegation to Ligue 2.
“Eirik plays attacking football, in an ambitious style. He has a modern vision of football which should allow players to reveal themselves and bring us success. We think that's what the fans want to see: a team that represents the values of this club and this city, particularly the value of work. I think the new coach embodies these values”said Ivan Gazidis on the ASSE website.
First meeting: Saturday January 4, 2025 (from 5 p.m.) at the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium, during the reception of the Reims stadiumon behalf of the 16th day of the championship.
