Urgently appointed to save the ASSE threatened with relegation to Ligue 2, Pascal Dupraz would have anticipated the maintenance of the Greens in Ligue 1.
ASSE: Dupraz is already in a documentary on the probable maintenance
Arrived along the way at ASSE, while the club is in great difficulty and threatened with descent, Pascal Dupraz promised to keep the club in the top flight by the end of the season. He had made the promise during his official presentation to the press last December. “We are going to hold on because each of us will have given the best of ourselves. I have recipes for the team to get better”, he had reassured. Even after the first two matches lost by AS Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1, the new coach of the Greens continues to believe in maintaining.
According to the revelations of The Team, Pascal Dupraz is so certain of saving the Loire club that he has agreed to the production of a documentary retracing the backstage of the probable future rise of the Stéphanois. “Dupraz believes in it hard as iron”, assured the sports daily.
AS Saint-Étienne: Dupraz confident despite two defeats in L1
Officially appointed on December 14, to succeed Claude Puel, the Savoyard technician led 4 matches with his new team. He lost in the league, respectively against FC Nantes (1-0) and RC Lens (2-1). ASSE is therefore still 20th with 12 points (-24) and has therefore taken no points under Dupraz. On the other hand, ASSE passed the round of the 32nd and 16th finals of the Coupe de France by eliminating Lyon La Duchère (1-0) and Jura Sud Foot (4-1). As a reminder, Pascal Dupraz had managed to avoid relegation to L2 at Toulouse FC, by achieving the feat of coming up 10 points behind, between March and May 2016.
