Looking for a new coach after the dismissal of Olivier Dall’Oglio this weekend, ASSE has made Eirik Horneland its priority track. But the Norwegian coach has several offers and is hesitant to say yes to ASSE.
Threatened for several weeks, Olivier Dall’Oglio was officially dismissed by the management of AS Saint-Etienne this weekend. One week before hosting Olympique Marseille in the round of 32 of the Coupe de France, the Greens must urgently find a new coach and one name has been mentioned with insistence for several hours, that of Eirik Horneland . Former Norway U18 and U19 coach, the 49-year-old coach is free from any contract after resigning from his post at Brann. A boon for ASSE, whose leaders appreciate Eirik Horneland’s style of play to the point of making it their priority.
According to information from Foot Mercato, discussions have intensified recently between Horneland’s entourage and the Saint-Etienne board. Enough to hope for a quick agreement… or not. Because even if the discussions are positive, the Norwegian coach has several offers according to the media, which is why he wants to give himself a few hours of reflection before making a definitive decision. ASSE will therefore soon know on which foot to dance regarding its priority for the coaching position. In the event of Eirik Horneland’s refusal, the AS Saint-Etienne staff could activate the Habib Beye track but to date, the ex-Red Star coach and currently consultant for Canal+ does not act as a priority in Forez.
