AS Saint-Étienne is living one of the most complicated seasons in its history. Last in Ligue 1 with only 12 points in 20 days, the Greens of Pascal Dupraz are on a mission to try to keep this emblematic club in the first division. Eliaquim Mangala, free since leaving Valencia last May, is one of the recruits chosen by the club to try to stay.

In fact, he cannot be registered for the matches against Lyon and then against Angers, but he can make his appearance in the group during the Coupe de France match against Bergerac in the round of 16.
