Kilmer Sports Ventures (KSV), a major player in French football, is showing growing interest in the AS Saint-Étienne (ASSE) training centre. Huss Fahmy, strategic advisor to KSV, expressed the desire to thoroughly assess the operation of the centre, not for the purpose of destructive audit, but to initiate a methodical progression respecting internal balances. This particular attention demonstrates the strategic importance that KSV attaches to this sector as a fundamental asset for the sports and financial future of the Stéphanois club. The one-year extension of the centre’s current staff illustrates this conservative and evaluative approach by the new management.

In an interview given to the Progress, Huss Fahmy stressed the return of optimism to Saint-Étienne, while stressing the need for a patient and strategic reconstruction to find the League 1. He acknowledged the destabilizing impact of relegation, but said that the next season would not be futile. The management preferred a long-term approach, avoiding rushed reinforcements and opting for a thorough reflection on the entire structure of the club. This strategy allows the ASSE to move forward on a more solid basis, with greater clarity and flexibility in the transfer market.

The KSV project for ASSE is based on the construction of a competitive team in Ligue 2, with a focus on strength and steady progress. This philosophy is reflected in important changes in staff, players and infrastructure. Emphasis is placed on targeted recruitment and the training of a culture of gain and performance. Huss Fahmy highlights the patience and support of supporters, which are essential to the successful completion of this progressive victory. The goal is to set the stage for a lasting return to Ligue 1, building on the potential of young talent, the supervision of experienced players and the osmosis of the technical staff.
