The AJ Auxerre Sentinel

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.
Boardroom7 Feb 2028
AJ Auxerre close the window on a squad of their own making
8 in and 10 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

AJ Auxerre cannot find the net
5 games without scoring. Strikers stop looking up, midfielders take the extra touch, and every shot that clears the bar is followed by a groan that has been building since the last goal.

AJ Auxerre sign Esteban Thyvent, one for the future
Esteban Thyvent is 20, and AJ Auxerre have signed him for the player he will be rather than the one he is. The first team can wait; the point of a deal like this is the years it buys.
In brief
- Squad Too much change too quickly at AJ Auxerre
- Squad Esteban Thyvent signs on for more
- The dugout Assane Dioussé has become a man the manager trusts
