This Tuesday, Standard officially went under the American flag with the closing of the takeover by 777 Partners.
The new American bosses have put in place a temporary structure in which Pierre Locht has been appointed interim CEO. The 34-year-old lawyer by training could even continue after the transition period.
In the meantime, a first strong decision has been taken by the new management: that of the dismissal of Luka Elsner. The Franco-Slovenian is no longer the T1 of the Rouches. His deputy Serge Costa is also sacked. The workouts will be given by Will Still and the rest of the staff.
The players, who have training scheduled for this afternoon, were made aware of the decision early in the afternoon. It’s Will Still and the rest of the staff who will give the training in the coming weeks.
