AS Saint-Etienne : ASSE: Claude Puel’s replacement is still waiting behind the scenes | ASSE News

No more room for error for the Greens manager, who has already saved his head three times this season.

After a catastrophic start to the season, Claude Puel is in the process of raising the bar as best he can. But according to information from a source close to the club who confided in our colleagues from Goal Football Club, the manager of AS Saint-Etienne is still under threat. Roland Romeyer has reportedly already chosen David Guion, the former Stade de Reims coach who is now free of any contract, to take over the reins of the team in the event of another Puel misstep.

The media specifies that Claude Puel has already saved his head three times since the start of the season. First at the time of the defeat (0-3) in Nice, but the draw in the derby against Olympique Lyonnais (1-1) gave him a reprieve. Same scenario a few weeks later with the draw against Angers (2-2) which allowed the coach of the Greens to forget a heavy defeat (1-5) against Strasbourg. Finally, Puel was threatened again after the draw (1-1) conceded to FC Metz. But since then, he remained on two consecutive victories (3-2 against Clermont and 1-0 against Troyes) before the defeat of this weekend against Paris Saint-Germain (1-3).
