Before I came, I knew the task was complicated. I must quickly find the right formula. The transfer window will be important. We must hurry to recruit to strengthen the team, bring more dynamism and consistency in all lines ”. ASSE sports coordinator, Loïc Perrin did not rule out the arrival of players next January, but mainly in the form of loans. “It will mainly be arrivals in the form of a loan. Given the current context, we will try to look for players who are perhaps in difficulty in larger clubs and who come to find playing time ”he confided during the presentation of Pascal Dupraz .
