ASSE is actively pursuing the modernisation of its recruitment, building on the arrival of Alexandre Lousberg in the recruitment unit and the integration of several new profiles. Names such as Pedro Ferreirinha, Guillaume Leleu and Uli Schier joined the team, each providing specific expertise and valuable contact networks. According to recent analyses, these new recruits should allow ASSE to explore new markets and find talent that the club had not yet identified, a particularly relevant approach in the current context of a crisis in French football.

The recruitment strategy of ASSE, long criticized, is undergoing a new direction under the leadership of Kilmer, who seeks to break with the past and build a solid foundation for the future. The objective is to develop robust player databases, allowing long-term monitoring and expansion of the prospecting area. This approach, which focuses on patience and pragmatism, aims to move away from past mistakes and ensure a step ahead of competition.

Although the concrete results are not immediate, the arrival of these new actors and the enlargement of the prospecting area suggest positive effects in the medium and long term. The ability to identify and negotiate with players, especially those living abroad, depends on the presence of people on the ground, mastering the language and knowing the agents. The ASSE therefore has a long way to go, but the first signs suggest that it is on the right track to find Ligue 1.
