Claude Puel sent a very strong message on the AS Saint-Etienne goalkeeper hierarchy.
Asked by the regional daily Progress, the Greens’ coach ended the suspense by saying that Jessy Moulin was going to start the 2020-2021 financial year, to the detriment of Stéphane Ruffier who had been dismissed in favor of his understudy before the suspension of the matches.
“I had a discussion with Stéphane to tell him that Jessy will start the season. At the start of this story, I planned to blow Stéphane a game or two. And then there was a situation that overflowed, extra-sporting things that happened. At the time, I wanted to see Jessy Moulin positioning herself other than in an ‘interim’ position. He had a given opportunity and Jessy knew how to seize it.“
Questioned by The team on the fate of the former Monegasque, Claude Puel did not close the door when he left this summer, one year before the end of his lease. In light of the declarations of the ex-technician from Nice, Stéphane Ruffier has never seemed so close to changing the air.
