Since Saturday evening, the name of Yann M’Vila has been on everyone’s lips in Saint-Etienne. It must be said that the middle of the ASSE went strong by paying Claude Puel and his presidents on Instagram.
Via social media, the French international had publicly criticized the management of his coach. “Claude Puel is a good coach but perhaps not with good manners. He wants everyone to go his way. It is not close to the players as we have known. And that’s what we like. You can walk next to him without him talking to you ”. And the former midfielder from Rennes did not stop there, since Bernard Caïazzo and Roland Romeyer also took their rank. “There is a president who will say A, a president who will say B. I was warned about how it was going here” he notably breathed.
In the evening of Sunday, Yann M’Vila apologized by indicating in particular that he “Regretted the interpretation which has been made of it by certain media” and that Claude Puel was a “Good coach who knows football very well”. But according to information from But, Yann M’Vila’s first outing is far from trivial. And for good reason, he is whispering more and more in the Saint-Etienne microcosm that the 29-year-old midfielder wants to leave Saint-Etienne, a year and a half after his arrival from Rubin Kazan in Russia.
The media reminds in particular that if Yann M’Vila accepted the challenge of AS Saint-Etienne, it is above all for Jean-Louis Gasset. Since the retirement of the former Stéphanois coach, things have deteriorated considerably between the club and Yann M’Vila. However, the very influential defensive midfielder of ASSE succeeded with the appointment of Ghislain Printant. But the ousting of the former Bastiais in October has definitely caused Yann M’Vila to spin, whose initial desires are no longer doubted internally. Now remains to be seen if a way out will come to the native of Amiens, very well paid in Saint-Etienne, during the next summer transfer window and whose current contract runs until 2022.
