In his book entitled Derrière la porte verte, published this Thursday, L’Equipe journalist Bernard Lions reveals some anecdotes about AS Saint-Etienne, and in particular the abortive arrival of Didier Deschamps.
“A blackmailer is trying to extort money from Caiazzo. The president of the supervisory board of ASSE lodges a complaint which quickly succeeds, the blackmailer is quickly unmasked. Claude Trémois, that’s his name, explains that he got his number thanks to Laurent Roussey, whom he met in Rouen. Outside the Etrat entrance hall, Caiazzo accuses Roussey of being at the head of a plot. Roussey denies, admits that he gave his president’s number to Trémois, but that’s it. Caïazzo has only one idea in mind: to hide Roussey. He even found a replacement for him: Didier Deschamps, with whom he had lunch at the restaurant Le Mas Candille, in Mougins. Free since leaving Juventus, Deschamps is interested but as long as Roussey remains in place, he will not give Caïazzo a positive response. During the following board of directors, the principle of Deschamps’s arrival was enacted on one condition: that Roussey did not win ahead of Rennes. But the Greens win 2-0 “, explains Bernard Lions
