In a very complex situation on Tuesday January 17, AS Saint-Etienne never stops worrying. In danger, it will be necessary to straighten the bar of the green ship before it sinks definitively.
Sad red lantern of Ligue 1, ASSE is more than ever in danger. In an attempt to remedy this not yet completely hopeless situation, the leaders of Saint-Etienne made the choice to thank Claude Puel on December 14th. Well known in this kind of rescue missions, Pascal Dupraz was inducted at the head of the green workforce. Yes, but here it is, for the time being, difficult to see the fruits of such a change of direction made more than a month ago now.
A documentary in anticipation
This weekend again, despite the opener by Ryad Boudebouz, AS Saint-Etienne lost for the umpteenth time against RC Lens in the dying seconds of the game (2-1). A new setback and a new disappointment that does not really encourage optimism, while Holiness is five points behind the first non-relegation player. Whatever, Pascal Dupraz knows he has time and he intends to use it to change things. Above all, the former coach, who had an authentic feat of maintaining when he was coaching Toulouse, has a certainty that many would consider presumptuous: he is convinced that Saint-Etienne will be in Ligue 1 next year. In this sense, he has already accepted the filming of a documentary on the reassembled from the Forez team, here is what we can read in The Team of the day.
“Since his appointment on December 14, nine days after the departure of Claude Puel, Pascal Dupraz (59) has embarked on a vast seduction operation, can we read. His calinotherapy even led him to give a birthday present to Wabi Khazri’s son. He also immediately validated the production of a documentary telling the backstage of the Greens’ comeback because Dupraz firmly believes in it.”, wrote the sports newspaper on a coach who therefore apparently has, but that we already knew, a very high esteem for himself.
