The 34e And last day of Ligue 1, disputed last Saturday, shot the nightmare for Saint-Etienne. While they hoped to double Le Havre and hang the place of Barragist, the Greens bowed on their lawn of Geoffroy-Guichard against Toulouse (2-3), when at the same time the HAC won in Strasbourg (3-2).
Result: after a single season spent among the elite, ASSE will evolve again in Ligue 2 during the year 2025-2026. A huge disappointment for all the Stéphanois supporters, who now cross their fingers so that the future project set up by the Foréziens leaders allow the club to quickly go back to Ligue 1.
A new sports director at ASSE?
Will the Saint-Etienne staff pay? He is already working there, anyway. According to Foot transfer windowthe Greens would like to attract Antoine Sibierski and make him one of the strong men of their new sports policy. The 50 -year -old sports director joined Troyes last summer, allowing the ESTAC to finish tenth in Ligue 2.
The northerner has solid high level experience. During his player career, from 1992 to 2009, the ex-offensive-milieu evolved in Lille, Auxerre, Nantes, Lens, Manchester City, Newcastle, Wigan and Norwich. He was then appointed Sang and Gold Sports Director, in 2012, before leaving his duties a year later.
