New ASSE coach Pascal Dupraz coached his first game on Sunday. But the French coach is well advised for his future.
Pascal Dupraz drops a big clue about his future
Last Tuesday, AS Saint-Étienne appointed Pascal Dupraz as coach of his professional team. The former coach of Toulouse and SM Caen in particular, who has signed up until June 30, 2022, will have the main task of keeping the Saint-Etienne club in Ligue 1 Uber Eats at the end of the season.
While waiting for May 21 and the 38th day of the championship, the Haute Savoie technician already knows that his mission will come to an end at the end of the current exercise. “When it will be my last match in May at the head of ASSE, my emotion will be great, because we will be maintained”, said Pascal Dupraz at a press conference on Saturday before his men’s victory in the Coupe de France against Lyon-La Duchère (1-0).
ASSE: Dupraz enjoys his first on the bench of the Greens
For his first on the bench for AS Saint-Étienne, Pascal Pascal won by the smallest gap and will play in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. Mission accomplished for the successor of Claude Puel even if he considers that Wahbi Khazri and his partners could have folded the match quickly enough with a slightly more robust score.
“I gave the players three goals, they completed all three. Among them was the qualification. I’m especially happy to have seen the players do what I asked them to do. I haven’t been through the hard times and I want to look to the future. Faced with a team that played the transitions thoroughly, my team played very seriously. It’s always good to win games even if the level difference means we have to win this game “, Dupraz explained at a post-match press conference.
Qualification for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France obtained, the Greens will now try to regain confidence in the league with the reception of FC Nantes on Wednesday at 9:00 p.m. As a reminder, ASSE is the backdrop for Ligue 1 after 18 league days.
