With 383 appearances between 2011 and 2021 with her shirt Saint EtienneThe Stéphane Ruffier he was inextricably linked with the French club, however the end of the relationship between the two sides was inglorious.
In December 2020, the veteran now goalkeeper had been kicked out of the teamwith the “stephanois” justifying their decision on the grounds of the player’s disciplinary offenses – such as arriving late to training, refusing to wear a mask and being absent without permission.
All this six months before the completion of Ruffier’s contract, who finally announced his retirement from active action shortly after.
Almost three years later, the former guardian-angel of the Saint-Etienne home decided to go on the counter-attack, asking for an amount that reaches a total of 7.12 million euros as compensation from the club!
Of these, approximately 550,000 euros concern accruals of the months of his contract until the summer of 2021, while the greater part, close to 5.8 million, is compensation for moral and professional damages.
The case is expected to be tried at the beginning of 2024, with French media reporting that it seems difficult to get what the 37-year-old French claims.
