Raised against the trainer Claude Puel, whose departure they have been demanding for several weeks, the Ultras of AS Saint-Etienne note that the technician refuses to resign. Several groups of supporters have therefore planned to gather on Sunday, the occasion of the closed-door match against Clermont.
Claude Puel still in the sights of the Ultras.
The situation remains unchanged AS Saint-Etienne. After 12 days in Ligue 1, the Greens are still waiting for their first victory and occupy the last place in the championship.
Over the weeks, this situation increased the anger of the supporters who demanded the departure of coach Claude Puel with more and more virulence.
The Stphanois bus blocked
We have indeed passed the stage of hostile chants. During the match against Angers (2-2) on October 22, dozens of smoke had been thrown on the lawn, delaying the start of the game.
And nearly a week later, after the simple draw obtained Metz (1-1) on Saturday, members of the Magic Fans and the Green Angels awaited the Greens at Saint-Etienne airport with an explicit banner: Puel released! . Before blocking the team’s bus for about twenty minutes. According to Le Progrs, these conditions prompted the police to escort the vehicle and accompany the ASSE coach to his home.
A rally is getting ready
Still insufficient to intimidate Puel, who refused to give up his post. The information has not escaped the Ultras, whose joint publication on social networks invites all the dissatisfied to gather Sunday afternoon, before the reception of Clermont (3 p.m.) behind closed doors. Suffice to say that the tension is still likely to rise around Puel and the leaders, also screwed by this gathering which could cause new incidents.
