While AS Saint-Etienne begins a new phase of reconstruction under the leadership of Kilmer Sports Ventures, a serious obstacle seems to stand on the road to the rise in Ligue 1.
ASSE is in working order. On Thursday, the Greens found the way to training under the leadership of Eirik Horneland and the latter posted all its determination to launch the season in Ligue 2.. It remains to be followed by its leaders throughout the transfer window. Not an easy task …
According to Green peoplethe initial plan of the leaders this summer is clear: maintaining a solid frame while retaining key players in the workforce in order to build a competitive team capable of quickly returning to Ligue 1. Among these players, the names of Lucas Stassin, Zuriko Davitashvili and Pierre Ekwah would be appointed as pillars of the sports project.
However, the reality of the transfer window is far from corresponding to these ambitions. The three elements that the club absolutely wants to keep today show starting desires, which greatly complicates the task of the Stéphanoise management. This situation constitutes a hard blow for Kilmer Sports, which puts on stability to ensure a rapid return to Ligue 1, and on which their recovery plan was largely based.
Kilmer Sports wants to keep 3 executives… on departure
The Stéphanois trio, perceived as the backbone of the short -term project, could thus scatter during this summer transfer window, leaving ASSE must leave almost zero, with a workforce to be rebuilt. Such a situation is likely to complicate the task of Horneland, which will have to be ingenuity to compensate for these potential departures.
Maintaining the objectives displayed by Kilmer Sports now depends on its ability to find rapid and effective solutions on the transfer market while remaining in osmosis for the wishes of the Norwegian coach. In this context, the next few days promise to be crucial.
