Executive Chairman of ASSE, Jean-François Soucasse ensures that the results will determine the future of Claude Puel.
Since the start of the season, AS Saint-Etienne has been in great difficulty. It was indeed necessary to wait until the 13th day of Ligue 1 to see the Greens win their first match of the season. This weekend, against Clermont , the ASSE effectively snatched the victory by scoring two goals in added time (3-2). A breath of fresh air for Claude Puel , but his position is not saved, the club still pointing to 19th place in Ligue 1. Executive President of ASSE , Jean-François Soucasse evokes the future of the Saint-Etienne manager.
“Sporting results are the only justice of the peace”
“Some supporters want Claude Puel to leave? I tell them that as in any sports club, the criteria and the evaluation grid are based on results. Only sporting results will keep the club in Ligue 1. I am not in a situation of denial, I am not a follower of the Coué method. We cannot congratulate ourselves on having the best audience in France – that's a reality – and be surprised that this audience is expressing itself and expressing its dissatisfaction. I take my part in its responsibilities, I am there to assume them. Others will have to. Sports results are the only justice of the peace. I am not Claude Puel’s lawyer. Claude Puel's situation must not exonerate the players, the management, ”he confides at the microphone of France Bleu.
