Rarely has a coach transformed a team so much, and so quickly, in this way. Under the orders of Eirik Horneland, ASSE has completely transformed itself for its first outing in 2025. At home, the Greens pulled out all the stops with a full match. More than a simple victory against Reims (3-1), the Stassin gang offered play and a state of mind never seen for months at Geoffroy-Guichard. The Horneland leg is phenomenal…
Horneland changed everything
Opinions are unanimous around ASSE the day after the great victory against Reims, which allowed the Greens to leave the red zone (finally!): Eirik Horneland changed everything. The Norwegian technician imposed his style from the start and the effects on the Saint-Etienne game were immediate. On the players, too. The feeling of seeing a completely different team is striking… Strong choices which command respect, like the entry into play of the kid, Djylian N’Guessan, 16 years old. If he was unable to play a few seconds of play upon entering the 93rd minute, the symbol speaks for him. The Horneland revolution is underway…
And now, the transfer window!
In just one match, Eirik Horneland reignited the green flame. And the supporters are already under the spell of the work accomplished and the immediate effects already visible. All the green people are now up to attend the winter transfer window prepared by the Norwegian technician. There will be surprises, good moves and intelligent recruits. Let it be said, the ASSE project is taking a new turn. And it’s just beginning!
