ASSE has plunged into doubt in recent matches. The Greens are only five and six points behind the jump-off and the relegation, Nîmes and FC Nantes, in 16th place in the ranking of League 1. The threat of relegation to Ligue 2 is still relevant for the club coached by Claude Puel. And the maintenance will be difficult between now and the end of the season. However, internally, AS Saint-Etienne has changed things on the training side, to adhere to the coach’s project and offer more consistency. It is in this sense that Laurent Huard has seen its role evolve.
ASSE still threatened with descent in Ligue 2
Rolland Courbis to a big fear for ASSE: that of a descent in League 2. The former coach and consultant for RMC believes that a great historic club in the French championship could go by the wayside this season. “I hope that in every club, we are aware of it because there are sometimes weird things, whether it’s series, things that we notice, that they don’t lose against so-and-so. There, I have the impression, and we will see at the end of our championship, that three big clubs – since for me Bordeaux and Saint-Etienne are big clubs with a past, and clubs which have been, not at the same moment, at the head of our French football, and I add Nantes – are in danger. I do not know if in our championship the three traditional favorites to go down will not be accompanied by one of these three clubs. Now, c ‘It is more difficult to go down because there is the jump-off. But when I see our second French division playing with Toulouse, Clermont, I wish the French Ligue 1 club-run-off not to meet these teams, “warned the former coach.
Laurent Huard’s new role with the Greens
ASSE should not be part of that wagon. Not now that a project is really taking place on all floors of the club. Appointed technical director of the training center, Laurent Huard gave details of his new role in Progress : “It consists of coordinating the technical part a little bit, managing the educators. The goal is to achieve consistency between the center and the professional team but also within the center to offer coherent content to young people. educator has his sensitivity but we must have common ideas of intention of play, work, whether on the technical, tactical or athletic part. Things had been started by Razik Nedder who had this responsibility, but with a team in addition, he did not necessarily have this possibility of being with the educators on a daily basis. He gave the guideline. My idea is not to revolutionize what has been done but to improve all that by being more precise on the expectations of the coach Puel and to have an osmosis of work. The educators must feel surrounded, supervised, and that they really participate in this evolution of our players. ” ASSE will travel to Angers SCO on Saturday (1 p.m.) for the 29th day of Ligue 1.
