Posted on December 6, 2021 at 8:30 am by AM updated on December 6, 2021 at 8:32 am After the heavy defeat against Rennes (0-5), Claude Puel was finally laid off by ASSE. The quest for his successor could also be particularly scrutinized by candidates for the redemption of the club. The rout of too many. After the large defeat of ASSE in Geoffroy-Guichard against St ade Rennais (0-5), the club published a press release announcing the dismissal of Claude Puel . “This Sunday, the Executive Chairman of AS Saint-Étienne took the decision to withdraw from Mr. Claude Puel, until further notice, the management of the professional team”, explained the club. As revealed exclusively by le10sport.com, it is Pascal Dupraz who is best placed to succeed Castrais. Information confirmed by L'Equipe, which however adds a downside. Indeed, while the process of selling the club is underway, the candidates for the redemption of ASSE could well have their say in this matter. And for good reason, if the Greens decide to dismiss Claude Puel and to appoint a coach in his place, the next owner of the club could be forced to pay a lawsuit in Castres while paying severance pay to the coach appointed to succeed him. Consequently, an internal solution could ultimately be favored so as not to chill any potential buyout candidates. From this perspective, two duos would compete, namely Julien Sablé (assistant) and Jean-Luc Dogon (U19 coach) or Laurent Huard (director of the training center) and Razik Nedder (reserve coach). 
An internal solution?
