Olivier Dall’Oglio was made official this Tuesday as the new coach of AS Saint-Étienne.
L’AS Saint-Étienne must emerge from the crisis. After five consecutive defeats in Ligue 2 and an early elimination in the 8th round of the Coupe de France, the Greens decided to part ways with Laurent Battles, who arrived last season and who had a good second half of the championship.

Having recently passed through Dijon, Brest and even Montpellier, the French technician therefore becomes the new coach of ASSE, where he signed a six-month contract with an optional additional year. “This Tuesday, Olivier Dall’Oglio (59 years old) was officially appointed coach of the AS Saint-Étienne professional team until the end of the season, with an additional year as an option.

Dall’Oglio, who has not coached in Ligue 2 since the 2015-2016 season, was excited by this new sporting challenge. “It’s a new challenge in a legendary club. We’ll have to go quickly, but I’m really confident. I will convey my determination to the whole group. You will have to be rigorous, vigilant, and have the necessary concentration. It is on these aspects that I will focus initially”, explained the 59-year-old coach. This Saturday he will lead his first match on the Greens bench in Bordeaux, another monument of French football in danger.
