Julien Stéphan laid off!

What’s next after this ad

“What stands out is that we are eliminated, that’s all that matters in this competition. Inevitably we are disappointed, we could not have this little corner of blue sky. In content, it was inconsistent. (…) Either we didn’t aim, or Bernardoni made the saves. The matches are sometimes played with very few things… It does not turn out. There is Lens, a very big piece, which arrives on Wednesday and we have to focus on this match. The only remedy is victory. » Disappointed after the elimination of Strasbourg in the Coupe de France against Angers, Julien Stéphan will not see RC Lens at La Meinau.

Nineteenth in the Ligue 1 standings, the Alsatian club has been stuck in the red zone for weeks and is four points behind the first non-relegation player (Ajaccio). On paper, the situation is not lost. But after having installed the RCSA in sixth place last season, Julien Stéphan no longer has the springs to make Marc Keller’s club bounce back. The latter has just made a difficult but logical decision.
