Contacted a few days after the dismissal of Claude Puel, Pascal Dupraz was from the start one of the priorities of the leaders of ASSE. And in particular its new sports coordinator Loïc Perrin: “We wanted a French-speaking coach, who trained in Ligue 1, who took on a team during the season, who knows how to federate, a leader of men, and the one who seemed most suitable to us was Pascal.”
Express integration within ASSE
A first training this Wednesday morning for Pascal Dupraz with the first team, the day after his arrival in Forez. The new coach started his express integration into the club. “I am taken aback by the love that employees have for ASSE. […] It gives you hair. In all that gives them to me. “
Pascal Dupraz is the specialist in rescues from catastrophic seasons, he showed it in Toulouse, Caen, Evian Thonon Gaillard. This is why he was recruited at Saint Etienne. But the new coach of Saint-Étienne does not want “to arrive here as a savior, it is an obligation in view of the importance of this club. I have the weakness to think that I have recipes for the team to get better.”
First challenge for Pascal Dupraz, the 32nd of the Coupe de France of ASSE this Sunday, against Lyon-la-Duchère. Before his first league match with the Greens, on December 22 at Geoffroy-Guichard.
