Claude Puel has reportedly contacted Mathieu Bodmer to find out more about his possible involvement in the takeover of AS Saint-Étienne and his possible ouster. The former midfielder would have reassured him.
Based on information collected by People-Green, the technician from Saint-Etienne has made the decision to contact the ex-player to find out more about the rumors that have been circulating in recent days. The team has indeed indicated that Mathieu Bodmer could play a role, after the possible redemption of the club. And the name of Thiago Motta was mentioned in the optics of replacing Claude Puel. Mathieu Bodmer reportedly told the current ASSE coach that he was in no way involved in such an operation.
As a reminder, The 10 Sport recently reported that a pool of investors from Southeast Asia were willing to put 100 million euros on the table to take possession of the Saint-Etienne club. However, a few points would still block a possible deal, and in particular the integration of the State training center.
