ASSE, the sad end

Palace revolution among the Greens! The day after the defeat of the Stéphanois in Toulouse, as a curtain-raiser on the 15the act of Ligue 1 (2-1), Olivier Dall’Oglio was dismissed from his duties this Saturday. A strong act from the management of ASSE which officially communicated on the subject via a press release.

“ AS Saint-Étienne has relieved Olivier Dall’Oglio of his duties as coach of the professional team as of today. Until further notice, the supervision of the professional team will be provided by Laurent Huard, director of the ASSE training center », Specifies the Forézien club in a missive relayed on social networks.

10 defeats in 15 days

Olivier Dall’Oglio took over the Saint-Etienne bench in December 2023, obtaining the promotion of the Greens last spring at the expense of FC Metz, in a play-off between the 16e of Ligue 1 and the third in Ligue 2. Within the elite, however, the speech of the 60-year-old technician probably found less resonance, Saint-Etienne having already suffered 10 losses this season.

Ranked 16e and barrage for the moment, ASSE could find itself 17e and mired in the red according to the HAC result in front of Strasbourg on Sunday. The Saint-Etienne management is trying the famous electroshock method to bounce back better in 2025. In the meantime, we will have to host OM again, in the Coupe de France, next week. A hell of a challenge ahead for the interim coach.
