Asked about returning to AS Saint-Etienne in a new costume, Laurent Batlles seemed very interested in the idea.
After ending his sports career with Forez in July 2012, the former attacking midfielder began a new career on the bench. Having held several technician positions at Saint Etienne before signing in Troyes in January 2019, Laurent Batlles would not be against a return to the Greens in the coming years.
” When I ended my playing career, Saint-Etienne gave me the means to pass my coaching diplomas, explained the French technician in an interview with the Progress. It is not negligible. This club has given me a lot as a player and a coach. I have always said to the two presidents and to the managing director at the time: they are the ones who allowed me to have this reconversion. “
Recently, the name of the ESTAC coach has been associated with the French club under a club buyout and the possible arrival of Mathieu Bodmer at the head of the Saint-Etienne team. ” A return to ASSE? I have too much respect for the coaches in place to talk about coaching this club one day, continued Laurent Batlles. It’s always interesting to be able to coach a great club. Maybe it will be one day, maybe not. I do not think about it. There are people in place who work very well in Saint-Etienne. I am in Troyes where I want to perform. Then we’ll see what happens. “
