Posted on October 24, 2021 at 12:00 by AM Although he saved his head thanks to the draw snatched against Angers on Friday night (2-2), Claude Puel is still in the hot seat, especially since Roland Romeyer had completed his succession. Friday evening, Claude Puel played his position on the occasion of the reception of Angers . And everything had started badly since the SCO led 2-0 on the hour mark after the kickoff of the match was postponed by an hour due to the anger of Saint-Etienne supporters. But finally, the Greens snatched the draw in the last seconds, allowing Claude Puel to keep his post … for the moment since the ASSE still points to the last place in Ligue 1 and the threat of relegation is therefore present. Dupraz was to succeed Puel And for good reason, according to information from L'Equipe, Roland Romeyer had already planned everything to replace Claude Puel . In the event of a defeat against Angers , the former Leicester manager would have been removed from his post and Pascal Dupraz would have taken over. The goal of Mickaël Nade in the 94th minute of play finally changed everything and allowed Claude Puel to keep his post. But until when? Difficult to answer this question, but one thing is certain, the ASSE already holds its successor since Pascal Dupraz , lover of the Greens, is very appreciated by Roland Romeyer , while Jean-François Soucasse , executive president of the Forez club, knows him very well having worked alongside him in Toulouse. Free, Pascal Dupraz is biding his time while Claude Puel will continue to fight to ensure the maintenance of the ASSE . Skip back to main navigation
