After the dismissal by AS Saint-Etienne of its goalkeeper Stéphane Ruffier, the attempt at conciliation initiated in front of the Professional Football League failed.

“The LFP saw that there was no reconciliation between the two parties.

A decision will be taken by the club in the coming days ”on the fate of the player told AFP a representative of ASSE.

The meeting of the Legal Commission of the LFP was requested by AS Saint-Étienne with regard to a "possible early termination of the employment contract for serious misconduct", in application of the professional football charter.

The Saint-Etienne club, on the other hand, refuses to comment on the nature of the “envisaged disciplinary sanction” for the “breaches of discipline” accused of the player when he was summoned on December 2 by his general manager Xavier Thuilot.

A conflict that has been going on since February

Stéphane Ruffier, 34, was laid off on November 19 for leaving an individual training session prematurely.

Last Friday, the LFP appeal commission, seized by ASSE, confirmed the decision of the LFP legal commission of October 26, ordering the club to reintegrate Ruffier fully into the first training group of the LFP. professional workforce.

At the same time, she declared herself incompetent to "assess whether the disciplinary sanctions imposed on her are excessive and disproportionate", as the player claims, the same source said.

The goalkeeper of the Greens, whose contract expires on June 30, has been in dispute with ASSE since February 23 and the decision of general manager Claude Puel to put him to rest for the Ligue 1 match against Reims (1- 1).

He hasn't played since.
