ASSE: Paul Bernardoni pushed towards the exit door of Angers SCO

Holder against OM at the Vélodrome on Sunday, Paul Bernardoni probably played his last match of the season with Angers SCO. He will be replaced by Yahia Fofana (goalkeeper No. 2) in the last three games of the season, as announced by Alexandre Dujeux, the SCO coach. So is this the end for the 26-year-old doorman in Angers? Yes, according to his comments on Prime Video. While his contract extends until June 2024, he confirms the club’s decision to part ways with him.

“It’s a management choice. I was good here, I would have liked to stay, because I have one year left on my contract […]. We’re doomed, they decided it would end. These are choices, we must respect them., said Paul Bernardoni. In his comment, The Team believes that it is “the end of a story of three years of trouble” for the native of Evry who “has not confirmed his status as a former Hope of the France team” in Angers.

Paul Bernardoni transformed by his experience in Saint-Etienne

As a reminder, the 26-year-old goalkeeper was already in great difficulty last season in Angers. Relegated to the bench, he was finally loaned to ASSE for a period of six months. But he could not save the Greens, relegated to Ligue 2 through the play-offs. Moreover, Paul Bernardoni believes he has learned a lesson from his time at AS Saint-Etienne, under the orders of Pascal Dupraz, between January and May 2022.

“I see the two runs differently. In Saint-Étienne, I arrive at the winter break, super fresh. We make a comeback, we believe in it until the end. What’s terrible is just at the very end, with those penalty shootouts in the play-offs (return). However, when I arrived, the Saint-Etienne players told me that they felt worn out. I didn’t understand, but I understand now. When you’ve been going without winning for six months, it’s tiring, and that’s normal. Saint-Étienne serves me really well. We emerge transformed from these experiences, ”he said.
