The ax fell after another defeat away, but this one was not the most humiliating. Far from demeriting on the pitch of Toulouse (1-2), theAS Saint-Etienne however, confirmed its current difficulties in Ligue 1. And this setback was fatal to Olivier Dall’Oglio.
A year after his induction into the club, the CĂ©vennes technician was suddenly sacked by ASSE. He certainly pays for his statements regarding the transfer window, but he will have had the merit of launching young players into the deep end, and above all of bringing this stronghold of French football back into the elite.
A very risky bet to replace Dall’Oglio
By removing the coach from the comeback, the new owner of the Greens made a strong choice. Because there are not many free technicians, especially for such an arduous challenge. Several names circulated over the weekend, such as those of Wilfried Nancy, current coach of Colombus Crew, Habib Beye, still looking for a club, or Zoumana Camara, ex-coach of the PSG U19s.
But the favorite for the position would be the Norwegian Eirik Horneland. Second in the Norwegian championship with SK Brann, which he left, this completely unknown technician has no experience in one of the 5 major European championships. Foot Mercato indicated on Monday that this position was well studied by management. It remains very risky for a mission as perilous as maintaining Ligue 1.
