Eirik Horneland to meet ASSE hierarchy on Sunday after Reims defeat

Under-pressure Eirik Horneland is due to meet ASSE’s hierarchy on Sunday after the 1-0 defeat at Reims deepened concerns about his position, according to Le Progres.

The loss left ASSE fourth, behind their hosts, and two points from promotion. Supporters expressed their anger in Champagne.

Heated words were exchanged in the dressing room. Horneland departed Delaune with his head down, still officially in post but under intense pressure.

No decision was communicated on Saturday night, and a day off was ruled out. A win over Clermont had eased tensions only briefly before this setback reignited them.

Sunday’s consultation places his future in greater doubt a little over a year after his arrival.
