Saint-Étienne: Can a fallen giant rise again?

Few clubs stir the emotions in French football quite like Saint-Étienne. But can Les Verts build a future worthy of their glorious past? In this in-person edition of Le Dossier, host Matt Spiro joins writer and broadcaster Tom Williams and commentator Andy Scott for a nostalgic look at a club that captured a nation’s heart. From the European adventures of the 1970s to the extraordinary support at Geoffroy-Guichard, we explore why Saint-Étienne mean so much – and how they lost their way. We also examine the rebuild under Kilmer Sports, Ivan Gazidis’s role and the hopes surrounding Scottish coach Ian Cathro. Can this new chapter take one of France’s great football institutions back to the big time? 💬 What does Saint-Étienne mean to you – and how far can this revival go? Let us know in the comments.
