Despite a painful end of the season and a relegation to Ligue 2, AS Saint-Etienne is already preparing the future with ambition. Recently appointed head of the Greens, Eirik Horneland was quick to print his brand. The Norwegian coach notably surprised everyone by launching Djylian N'Guessan, just 16 years old, in League 1. A strong choice, who says a lot about the confidence placed in this young prodigy. And with the descent in Ligue 2, the horizon clears up for an express rise in the Stéphanois phenomenon.
A championship cut for the hatching of N'Guessan
Trained at ASSE, Djylian N'Guessan has all the qualities to shine: tactical maturity, technical accuracy and affirmed personality on the ground. Rare assets at his age, which have not escaped Horneland. Ligue 2, often more conducive to the expression of young talents, could serve as an ideal springboard for this ultra-prometting midfielder. In the absence of excessive media pressure, and with a training project based on training, ASSE seems determined to make N'Guessan one of the symbols of its renewal.
The Greens are betting on their new jewel
Like a Wesley Fofana or a William Saliba before him, Djylian N'Guessan may well be the next nugget to emerge from the Stéphanois training center. ASSE sees in him more than just young people with potential: a future technical leader, capable of carrying the club in his quest for ascent. The project is clear, the doors are wide open … and the N'Guessan phenomenon is on a good start to be talked about all season.
