History will record that theAJ Auxerre crosses paths with Franck Haise again for his big return to Ligue 1. In 2023, during its relegation, the Burgundy club had conceded a fatal setback against Lens. But water has flowed under the bridge, and AJA has learned, strong from a grandiose season to go straight back up with a title of French champion of Ligue 2 to the key. We are ready. The preparation has been very tough this year. The players have endured this preparation. But it is rare that teams are ready from the first day. Even more so with the transfer window ending on August 31st.” explained Christophe Pélissier.
Opposite, the Aiglons will be deprived of Moffi (knee), Louchet (thigh), Boga (thigh), Sanson (ankle), Diop (foot), Youssouf (calf) and Melvin Bard (suspended). But Franck Haise has no intention of falling into fatalism. I am very happy to start the championship. Sometimes, during the season, we have slumps during the season. But now I am impatient. The period is not the easiest to manage. I see an opportunity to be even more united. See what we have in our guts. »
