Auxerre ultras plan rally backing Christophe Pelissier and call for David Wantier to go | OneFootball

Les Ultras Auxerre 1990 will stage a rally at the Abbé-Deschamps on Saturday to back head coach Christophe Pelissier. He has kept AJA in Ligue 1 for a second successive season amid tensions with sporting director David Wantier.

The gathering is set for Saturday 23 May at 14:00 outside the stadium, a few days after survival was clinched with a 2-0 win at Lille. Guy Roux said on Sunday evening that Pelissier would only continue if he were freed from David Wantier, and he described the sporting director as an enemy within.

Despite back-to-back survival, Pelissier is not certain to continue next season because of his conflict with Wantier.

Both men have been summoned to China next week by owner James Zhou, who will have to choose between them.

The ultras are also calling for Wantier to depart.
