Red lantern in Ligue 1, AS Saint-Etienne has a catastrophic record with a total of 4 points, after 10 days.

A nightmarish start which, according to Progress, would not worry the technician of the Greens for the time being but according to the latest information from RMC Sport, the divorce between the two parties seems indeed imminent.
After the home defeat against Nice (0-3), the club management had already thought of sacking Claude Puel but the draw obtained in the derby against OL had allowed Puel to afford a slight reprieve. It seems that the setback against the Strasbourg people definitely seals the fate of the current ASSE coach. As such, a crisis meeting is also scheduled this Monday evening at the Robert-Herbin training center. An interview which should confirm the fact that the Castres will no longer be the manager of the Saint-Etienne first team.
