AS Saint-Étienne has found its new coach in Eirik Horneland. The former SK Brann coach will replace Olivier Dall'Oglio, who was dismissed last Saturday.

Who is Eirik Horneland?

Eirik Horneland is a 49-year-old Norwegian coach, elected best coach of his country in 2022.

Why this choice for AS Saint-Étienne?

The AS Saint-Étienne board had been seeking and obtained an amicable termination with Olivier Dall'Oglio, which allowed negotiations with Eirik Horneland to accelerate.

What does this change for the team?

Eirik Horneland will not lead the team in the last match of the year, this Sunday afternoon against Marseille, in the 32nd final of the French Cup. Laurent Huard, director of the training center, will take over as interim coach.

AS Saint-Étienne hopes that the arrival of Eirik Horneland will allow the team to rebound and regain its level
