Fourth in Ligue 2, AS Saint-Etienne is going through a very turbulent period.

After a year at the helm of theAS Saint-EtienneEirik Horneland is already in an ejection seat. According to information from specialist media Evect, the management of AS Saint-Etienne has scheduled a meeting in the coming hours to decide on the future of Horneland. The defeat conceded on Saturday against Stade de Reims (0-1) could be the last match for the Norwegian technician.

At the end of the week, influencer Romain Molina took stock of the situation at ASSE, indicating that the club’s owner,
Kilmer Sportss, was now looking for a new coach to take over the first team during the season and put it back on track for a direct return to Ligue 1.

Horneland, a speech that no longer passes?

According to information from journalist Sacha Tavolieri, a name would emerge in the high authorities of theAS Saint-Etienne: João Sacramento. This young 35-year-old technician is considered a rising talent on the coaching market. Free after his departure from LASK Linz (Austria), the Portuguese can draw on notable experience at the highest level since he has built a reputation as a brilliant tactician in an assistant role. Sacramento notably supported José Mourinho, or even Christophe Galtier when the latter officiated at Paris Saint-Germain during the 2022-23 season.
