Responsible for the recruitment unit of ASSE between 2015 and 2020, David Wantier commented on the arrival of Yvan Maçon within the Forez club.
In January 2020, the ASSE was doing a great deal by getting his hands on r Yvann Maçon for only € 450,000 according to information from the Voix du Nord. Trained at USL Dunkirk , the player, then 21, decided to join the Saint-Etienne club in order to continue his progress. Now linked to ASSE until 2025, the full-back has become one of Claude Puel's trusted men , who had validated his arrival at the Saint-Etienne club. Former head of the Greens' recruitment unit, David Wantier returned to the arrival of Mason .
“We introduced him to Claude Puel who validated it ”
“ It is the fruit of the work of the recruitment unit. During my five years at the club, we set up this recruitment unit. There was nothing at all to begin with. It is also for this reason that we made mistakes. We learned from those mistakes. Yvann Mason? This is the last player I made (…) In France, we were scrutinizing the three divisions (L1, L2 and N1). Yvann Maçon had been spotted there in Dunkirk. We supervised it six or seven times, with different scouts and we presented it to Claude Puel who validated it. There is always a validation from the coach. There is not a player who has arrived at Saint-Étienne without the coach's agreement. Otherwise, he doesn't play it, it doesn't make sense, ” David Wantier said during a live Twitch with Farid Rouas .
