[INFO SPORTUNE] Another chapter comes to an end. Between AS Saint-Etienne and Le Coq Sportif, there will be no follow-up, to the current 2021-2022 season, according to our information at Sportune, the collaboration extended in June 2020, will end on the 30th of June 2022. Mentioned by journalist Romain Molina last October, the sports equipment manufacturer based in Aube, suffered from the crisis and its effects on the economy.
Renewed in 2020, the partnership will end this summer
Sainté and his technical supplier, it is a rich history, especially of a prosperous period between the beginning of the 70s and until the 1983-84 season. It is with Le Coq, planted on the chest of the players, that the famous green epic was written, marked by the lost final of the fire “Cup of the champions clubs”, for a story of square posts, against Bayern Munich , in 1976.
There are (financial) concerns between Le Coq Sportif and ASSE.
The Greens have already polled other equipment manufacturers because the contract and the payments may not be approved at all as it is….

ASSE and Le Coq Sportif an emblematic common history
Thirty years passed, before the two met again. Le Coq Sportif has been dressing all Saint-Etienne professionals since the 2015-2016 season. The one currently being played will therefore be the last. Asked, the communication from AS Saint-Etienne did not answer us. We know that at least one other major contract than that of the Greens, elsewhere in sport, will not be renewed by Le Coq Sportif.
Hummel to dress the Greens in the future?
As to which brand will follow in the footsteps of the Greens in the future, it is rumored that Denmark’s Hummel would take advantage. At this point, we ignore it. On the other hand, it is not planned that the French equipment manufacturer will separate from ESTAC Troyes, its other partner in Ligue 1, since the two have in common their Aube origins which bring them together geographically and in the story to be told together. . Their association is in effect until 2024.
