Free since the end of his adventure in Reims, David Guion was the number one choice of Jean-Michel Roussier and Mathieu Bodmer to replace Claude Puel. But their project failed.
Since the start of the season, Claude Puel is under fire from critics. It must be said that ASSE had to wait until the 13th day of Ligue 1 before winning their first meeting. His departure is therefore demanded by the supporters of Saint-Etienne and he almost took the door several times but his players showed impressive self-sacrifice to avoid defeats by snatching draws in the last seconds against OL (1-1) and Angers (2-2), or by signing an impressive comeback against Clermont (3-2). The ASSE sale process also does not put Claude Puel in an ideal situation for his future.
Guion was the favorite of the project. Roussier-Bodmer
And for good reason, if a successful buyout project, the new owners will necessarily place a trainer that they have chosen. According to information from BUT Football Club, Jean-Michel Roussier also had a sports organization chart already established. The former president of OM , supported by funds based in Switzerland, intended to entrust Mathieu Bodmer with the post of sports director, and the favorite to succeed Claude Puel was David Guion , free from any contract since his departure from Reims . Ultimately, this project did not succeed, KPMG , an audit firm responsible for examining the takeover offers from ASSE , having judged that the financial guarantees provided were not sufficient.
