The unwanted atASSE still haven’t left. Claude Puel, the coach of As Saint-Étienne, awaiting departures to enroll new players, is in difficulty by the situation.
ASSE: Claude Puel expects “two or three players”
Claude Puel is facing difficulties to go to the end of his summer transfer window. He placed several players on his blacklist, but none of them found a way out. TheAS Saint-Étienne waits for places to become available before bringing in new players. “I have the will to improve this group with two or three players maximum », Confided his trainer in the columns of the newspaper Progress. “It may not be possible, because the group is very important and there is no financial windfall to be able to make investments,” the 58-year-old technician clearly explained.
The coach is vague on the targets of AS Saint-Étienne
The ASSE coach, however, was left unclear on which positions he would like to strengthen. “I’m not going to say exactly what the job is, but there isn’t much missing from this group,” he said. The general manager of the Greens has indeed decided to reduce the club’s bloated workforce. He wants to “tighten his group” around 25 players. Thus, Claude Puel dismissed Wahbi Khazri, Ryad Boudebouz, Sergi Palencia, Stéphane Ruffier, Loïs Diony, Harold Moukoudi and Miguel Trauco. Note that four new players, Jean-Philippe Krasso, Sétigui Karamoko, Yvan Neyou and Adil Aouchiche have already joined the workforce of AS Saint-Étienne this summer. If he had named the positions to be reinforced, Claude Puel would have made it clear the identity of the players he no longer wants in his group.
