At the end of last week, we could hear that Brann’s successful head coach Eirik Horneland was relevant for Danish Aalborg and today comes information that St. Etienne is looking towards Norway for a replacement for newly fired Olivier Dall’Oglio.
It is not at all certain that the break, which Eirik Horneland needs before he decides on the way forward, can be as long as he wanted. – His complete turnaround that the 49-year-old has completed with Brann, “crowned” with two second places in a row in the Eliteserien has been noticed.
The job that can really kick-start an international managerial career!
On Saturday, the day after the 2 – 1 loss at the Stadium de Toulouse against Toulouse, St.Etienne, who are really out in the running in Ligue 1, chose to sack their manager Olivier Dall’Oglio. – St.Etienne, who fought their way back to Ligue 1 after being two seasons down in Ligue 2, does not intend to be relegated, but rather to bring back “old greatness”.
The club’s new owners (bought in the summer) Kilmer Sports Ventures represented by former Arsenal owner van Gazidis aim to lift St.Etienne from the current level to play in Europe and challenge the giant Paris Saint-Germain.
Foot Mercato writes that Eirik Horneland is on the wish list in St.Etienne.
It is precisely his ability to revitalize a team that has created the interest of the French big club.
Eirik Horneland joined Brann as an assistant in January 2021 after taking a six-month break from his job as head coach at Rosenborg. Brann, who was in big trouble, hired Horneland as interim head coach the following summer. A job he got on a permanent basis after a few rounds with the board of the Bergen club.
