Claude Puel decided to shelve Stéphane Ruffier from Reims on Sunday. - ROMAIN LAFABREGUE / AFP

There are communication strategies that question more than others. That of Stéphane Ruffier's agent, sidelined by Claude Puel and replaced by Jessy Moulin for the reception of Reims on Sunday, is one of them. Questioned by our colleagues from L'Equipe , Patrick Glanz cut an entire wardrobe of suits for the Stéphane coach, which should not do the business of his player in view of the rest of the season. The goalkeeper of the Greens would have left training after learning the news. Atmosphere ...

"The coach has established a dictatorial power relationship with all the components of the club (players, doctor, staff, employees, etc.)," ​​he said. But there, he spits on a legend of AS Saint-Etienne (...) He designates him as the culprit of his poor results, unfairly and cowardly. Unless this change is part of his famous turnover which we know the success. "

"After learning that he would not be playing on Sunday, Ruffier simply left training in his vehicle. It was then only 11am and training was not over."

I'm ravaged, it breaks my heart. What a nightmarish season. https://t.co/GImxVcN1Op

Finished ? Especially not ! Patrick Glanz then evokes a coach "hated in Lyon, Nice and Leicester, where respected players in the Premier League, like the English international Jamie Vardy and the Denmark goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel, did not fail to set him on fire when he was left. I understand better why ”. And the agent concludes by revealing that the former Leicester coach was "on the verge of coming to blows with one of his midfielders" a few hours from the rouste inflicted by PSG in the Coupe de France on 8 last January. "Everything is summarized". A little too much, perhaps.
