Coach Pascal Dupraz “was not asking” for an extension, says Loïc Perrin

On the eve of the poster for the 30th day of Ligue 1 between ASSE and Olympique de Marseille, the sports coordinator of the Greens Loïc Perrin was the guest of France Bleu Saint-Étienne Loire at 7:45 this Friday. “It has always been a special poster and it has been a long time since Geoffroy-Guichard has been full so it feels good to see our stadium like this again.”

The attendance record for the season should be beaten, the stadium is sold out. The South Kop ultras, the Green Angels will take advantage of it to celebrate their 30th birthday. “I hope that the party will also be on the pitch. We are convinced that it will be in the stands. Afterwards, it is also up to us to make this match so that the party is even more beautiful.”

On a possible extension of coach Pascal Dupraz: “He was not an applicant. We never talked about it.”

Loïc Perrin also reacted to an article in the newspaper L’Équipe, about a certain annoyance within the club concerning Pascal Dupraz. The Greens coach, who came in December to save the team from relegation, does not hesitate to repeat that he has no contract after July 1.

“It’s funny because I was quick to send him a message to tell him that I was not annoyed, says the former captain. So, if it annoys internally, as it is marked, in any case, it does not come from the management.

How to open the door to a possible extension? “This is not at all the subject. He was not a requester. We never talked about it. The objective was clear when he signed, it was maintenance. But saying that does not mean say that it won’t be him next year either. Today, that’s not the goal at all and we haven’t mentioned it at all.”
