AS Saint-Étienne will pass into new hands in the coming months. A dozen investors are interested in the buyout of ASSE at the latest news.
About ten candidates for the takeover of ASSE
AS Saint-Étienne is about to turn the page Roland Romeyer / Bernard Caïazzo. After 17 years at the helm of ASSE, the two men want to hand over. From information gleaned by Progress, around ten candidates were selected for the acquisition of Saint-Étienne. The regional newspaper indicates that a candidacy would have attracted the attention of the leaders of Saint-Etienne. It concerns an association between a foreign entrepreneur and local investors. The source indicates that the latter, unable to financially meet the requirements, have decided to partner with this foreign investor whose identity has not been leaked. This local initiative would be greatly appreciated by the higher spheres of Saint-Etienne, as the media emphasizes.
A first big announcement in the pipes
While the identity of the new owner is awaited, Roland Romeyer intends to make a first announcement. In a recent release on RMC Sport, the co-president of AS Saint-Étienne had announced an important change from July 1. According to the radio, the 75-year-old leader will hand over to Jean-Francois Soucasse. The general manager of ASSE is present to ensure the succession of Romeyer as chairman of the management board of the Loire club. A great promotion in sight for the 48-year-old leader, five months after his arrival at the Greens instead of Xavier Thuilot. At the start, Roland Romeyer also warned that he did not intend to leave club Forez for good. He wants to keep some shares in the capital of Saint-Étienne.
