Haise has several advantages in the eyes of the Saint-Etienne side. He is currently free, maintains a high rating after his years of success at Lens, and knows the Ligue 2 championship well to be at the origin of the rise of the Sang et Or in the elite in 2020. Also, he has the reputation of wanting to make his teams play, that they are protagonists of the matches, a significant element when you manage the Greens with the biggest budget in the championship.

Haise the fight with Montanier

Means are not everything. They have struggled to string together results since the start of the season. Having fallen back to 5th place, the last qualifier for the end-of-season play-offs, following their defeat on the pitch in Reims last Saturday, they are starting to feel the wind turning in the wrong direction in their objective of immediate recovery. Eirik Horneland is losing his last remaining credits.

If the Norwegian is still in post, it is because management failed to convince a foreign coach sought in MLS. Kilmer, the Canadian group that owns the Foréz club, therefore turned to the French market and ticked off two names. Franck Haise’s competitor is called Philippe Montanier. The two coaches know each other well since the first took the second’s place at Lens when he was only the reserve coach. Montanier has also been free since he left Toulouse in June 2023. He was a goalkeeper for ASSE at the end of his playing career and has had several coaching experiences in L2.
