AS Saint-Etienne is not done with Stéphane Ruffier.
According to The team, the former iconic goalkeeper of the Greens, between 2011 and 2021, will attack the club in front of the industrial tribunal, after a failed attempt at conciliation. The former three-cap international is expected to claim up to 5 million euros, while
ASSE had no plans to spend more than $ 2 million on this file.
The Saint-Etienne club announced on January 4 that they had broken Ruffier’s contract six months before its term, citing “the attitude of the player who undermined the institution”. The goalkeeper, now 35, then ended his career to return to his native Basque Country and become an educator with Aviron Bayonnais.
