Foot – Mercato – ASSE
Appointed coach of ASSE at the beginning of June after having conquered his world at ESTAC, Laurent Batlles will be able to shop in his former club according to the sports director of Troyes if and only if, the coach of the Greens respected a clear condition set by the promoted from Ligue 1. Explanations.
On Friday, June 3, theASSE opened a new page of his project. The rescue mission in Ligue 1 ended in failure with Pascal Dupraz at the head of the Forez club. Relegated to Ligue 2, the Greens have taken the decision to appoint a coach who has proven himself in this division by having also validated his ticket for Ligue 1 with theESTAC : Lawrence Battles. The objective is clear, in addition to selling the club, the other essential ambition of Bernard Caiazzo and Roland Romeyer is to see theASSE regain its place in Ligue 1 next season. However, due to excesses at the end of the play-off match betweenASSE at theAuxerre, the Saint-Etienne club received six penalty points, three of which were suspended, and six games behind closed doors, two of which were suspended. The sale of the club would be slowed down in particular for this reason according to Progress, David Blitzer not having yet returned to the news for the takeover of ASSE. Not enough to make the sports coordinator doubt Loic Perrin who has already completed two arrivals in the people of Dylan Chambost and jimmy Giraudontwo players having evolved in theESTAC with Lawrence Battles during the fiscal year that has just ended. A third Trojan could also land in Forez, namely Tristan Dingome. The Trojan management would not intend to put a spoke in the wheels of ASSE for all that, on one condition.

ASSE receives the green light for its sale at ESTAC, but will not have the right to purchase all players
This is indeed the information communicated by theEast Lightning. According to the French media, players with the “undesirable” label of Bruno Irles would have the green light to join Laurent Batlles at theASSE. However, this scenario would not apply to figureheads such as Yoann Salmier, Gauthier Gallon or Florian Tardieu. As for the rest of the workforceESTAC, the new coachASSE seems to have carte blanche. And it’s not Francis Vitali who will say the opposite. The sports director of theESTAC opened the door to other players leaving for theASSE during an interview with the‘East Lightning. “Laurent is right to seek players he trusts and with whom he performed in Ligue 2 and during the first part of the season in Ligue 1. It’s normal. If Laurent wants players who match him and we are open, there is no reason. Some will have an interest in the proposed project in Saint-Étienne; others will want to continue in Ligue 1, with Estac. But it is the project of the players, beyond the emotional side; for a player, playing in Ligue 1 is still stronger than playing in Ligue 2”. Lawrence Battles and Loic Perrin are therefore warned.
