Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: Top 10 salaries for the 2020/2021 season
Presented to the press at the Stade de Reims yesterday, Oscar Garcia notably returned to his first French experience of a few months at ASSE. A failed experience which is not the cause of the Catalan’s return to Ligue 1.
“After my short experience at Saint-Etienne, I wanted to come back to Ligue 1, because it’s an exciting championship. For me, it is at the same level as Germany, just behind England and Spain (…) Even if I had not gone through Saint-Etienne, I would have had the same desire to come here ” , said Oscar Garcia.
“My departure has nothing to do with our defeat in the derby”
In comments reported by the Union, the Spaniard justified his short adventure with the Greens. Without bitterness but with a few strong messages for the attention of his former management and the supporters of ASSE: “My departure has nothing to do with our defeat in the derby against Lyon (5-0). I ran into some problems internally, but I’m happy to have left the team in 6th place. I had asked management for recruits in order to change something. We could not only rely on the history of the club, think only of the past and forget about the future. It was complicated, the team not speaking 100%. As I am an honest person, I left without asking for a euro ”.
The staff who will accompany him to his mission in Reims
Now focused on Reims, Oscar Garcia has built a cosmopolitan staff to carry out his mission. In Champagne, the Spaniard only arrives with his longtime deputy Ruben Martinez Caballero (44 years old). Will Still (28) arrives from Beerschot as second assistant. Mickaël D’Amore (48 years old), until then coach of the U19, is promoted to make the link with young people. For his part, Sébastien Hamel (45) keeps the post of goalkeeper coach. Just like Barthélémy Delecroix for physical preparation and Cyril Duhal for video analysis.
