Recently laid off by its managers, Claude Puel could have left ASSE much earlier this season.

For some observers, this had become inevitable. Last in Ligue 1 after seventeen days of the championship, ASSE separated from Claude Puel with a scathing press release published after the defeat against Stade Rennes (0-5). “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” wrote the Greens, thus formalizing the departure of a trainer who arrived in October 2019 and to whom the leaders have entrusted the full powers, to install his project. On le10sport.com, we revealed that a favorite is already coming off to replace Puel, with Pascal Dupraz.

The third time has been the good

Finally, Claude Puel can be happy to have held until December 5th. Several media have indeed assured in recent days that ASSE had been preparing for his departure for a very long time. A version confirmed this Tuesday by RMC Sport, which ensures that the Saint-Etienne leaders were ready to dismiss Puel from last October 18, the day after a large defeat against RC Strasbourg (5-1). The radio even assures us that it would have already been thought about in September, but the expense that this choice would entail finally pushed the ASSE to wait.
