Ruffier in conflict with Saint-Etienne

In conflict with Claude Puel, Stéphane Ruffier, under contract with Saint-Etienne until 2021, is excluded from the pro group and seeks a new challenge. Close to Galtier since their years together in Forez (2011-2017), the two men remained in contact. But not to the point of ending up in the North according to Galtier. Still, the transfer window ends on October 5, that a departure from Maignan du Losc cannot be ruled out and that the cards can still be reshuffled.
