While the players themselves showed real limits, Claude Puel couldn't save his skin in ASSE. Based on his experience, Wahbi Khazri (30) regretted a further dismissal of a coach due to the poor results of an entire group.

After the humiliating defeat conceded at home last Sunday at the reception of the Stade Rennais (5-0), Claude Puel was laid off by its leaders who appointed this Thursday Julien Sablé to act as interim. A departure that had its impact in the locker room of ASSE. And particularly at Wahbi Khazri who officially saw his new coach. to award the captain's armband on the occasion of his introductory press conference in recent hours, a status enjoyed by Mahdi Camara under Puel . Passing through the press, Khazri released a punchline on the sad reality of the world of football.

“We can't fire 25 players so we fire the coach”

“From the start, we were on the pitch. Everyone has their responsibilities and their share of fault. The coach has it because he's the one who makes the team, but we also didn't do everything well. (…) If we go out quickly, that will mean that the change of coach has had an impact. Against Rennes, we took goals bordering on ridiculous. There are lots of little things that cost us a lot. (…) We cannot fire 25 players so we fire the coach. This is the lot of all clubs in this situation. We said things to each other too. We are here for a mission: to save the club. This will require compliance with the instructions. (…) I must have known about 20 coaches in my career. These are the vagaries of football. We have to be efficient on the pitch, afterwards it's Loic who manages what is outside ”. said Wahbi Khazri at a press conference on Thursday.
