At the request of the new triumvirate at the helm of the Greens since Monday morning (Perrin, Soucasse, Rustem), the former Stade de Reims coach agreed to meet them on Tuesday outside Saint-Étienne.
He wanted assistants and recruits
After giving him an overview of the financial, sporting and economic situation of the club, last in Ligue 1 before the 18th day, the new Forézien board listened to his complaints. Guion outlined his framework for restoring positive momentum to the club. It went through his arrival, with one or more assistants and a winter transfer window during which the Greens would be pro-active.
Noting that the club was hardly inclined to see him land with assistants and to recruit more than two players in January in order to compensate for the departures of at least five holders at the CAN, Guion preferred to decline the offer of the Saint-Etienne leaders . Saint-Étienne will have to find another trainer, while Pascal Dupraz is the other name that has stood out in recent days.
