AS Saint-Etienne : Oscar Garcia praises green fans and tackles Romeyer | ASSE News

Zapping Goal! Football club ASSE: tops, flops, future … the assessment of the 2020-2021 season of the Greens

The new Stade de Reims coach, Oscar Garcia, gave an interview to a program on Youtube called The Coaches. He spoke of all his experiences on the bench, including that in Saint-Etienne, where he arrived in June 2017 to succeed Christophe Galtier and left the following November after a rout in the Chaudron against OL (0-5 ). But it would rather be his relationship with Roland Romeyer that would be at the origin of his departure, to believe him …

“A club with incredible supporters”

“It’s a club with incredible supporters. Along with OM, it is the most beloved club in France, a historic club. I was convinced that I was going to be able to improve there. Saint-Etienne was a great goal because they are a very well known club. A long time ago, he dominated French football, which makes him very popular all over the country, except in Lyon. I was convinced that with good rookies and a good squad, we could have had a great season. “

“I knew that Ligue 1 is a league with a lot of transitions, that the players there are very physical, athletic, that tactically, physical strength predominates over tactics proper. This is due to the mentality of the players, to the many nationalities present in this championship. But because of problems with the president, we decided to leave. “

ASSE, a good memory for Oscar Garcia

Appointed at the head of the Stade de Reims in the offseason, Oscar Garcia has fond memories of his time at ASSE, even if it was short (from June to November 2017). If he left, it would be Roland Romeyer’s fault, according to him.
