The new Canal+ consultant, Bertrand Latour, contests the decision of the leaders of AS Saint-Etienne to part ways with Olivier Dall’Oglio.
Olivier Dall’Oglio is no longer the coach of AS Saint-Etienne. The 60-year-old technician did not resist the new defeat of the Greens – the third in a row after Rennes and Marseille – Friday evening in Toulouse (2-1), at the opening of the 15e day of Ligue 1. Indeed, the ex-Dijon coach was officially dismissed from his duties the next day.
A decision by Saint-Etienne decision-makers contested by Bertrand Latour. For the new Canal+ consultant, ASSE’s problem lies elsewhere. According to him, the concern comes more from the weakness of the workforce, and at the same time from the recruitment carried out this summer.
Latour: “Saint-Etienne’s squad is too weak for the moment”
“If the problem at Saint-Etienne was Olivier Dall’Oglio, that would be very good and that would mean that they will quickly recover. I think that the Saint-Etienne squad is too weak for the moment. Salvation will undoubtedly come through a winter transfer window and the contribution of certain players to turn the club around “, said Bertrand Latour on the Canal Football Club set on Sunday evening.
“ There are no miracles. We have seen this in clubs which have already made coaching changes. I don’t believe that Montpellier has been transformed since Gasset arrived, nor Rennes despite the arrival of Sampaoliunderlined the former journalist from the L’Equipe channel. I do not dispute the contribution that these coaches can have. We pick up and throw away easily, the coaches are the fuses. It’s easier to blow up one coach than 23 players. But the best would have been to choose the 23 players better. » Despite the difficulties and a 16e place in the ranking, Saint-Etienne still has every chance of saving itself at the end of the season.
