In the opening match of the 18th day of Ligue 1, Montpellier faced Saint-Etienne. The Hérault club, currently positioned just above the relegation zone, is in a critical situation, leading to the dismissal of coach Jean Fernandez due to unsatisfactory results. Rolland Courbis has taken over as the new coach, and the match against Saint-Etienne marked his debut on the bench. Montpellier was in need of a victory to improve their standings and distance themselves from the relegation zone. Siaka Tiéné, the Ivorian international, was expected to contribute to Montpellier’s efforts on the pitch.
