The appointment is made. And no doubt it is necessary. After the bad start to the season for Olympique Lyonnais, corrected on Saturday at home by Montpellier (1-4), coach Laurent Blanc will speak by telephone this Monday with president John Textor, says L’Equipe.
The former coach of Bordeaux, PSG and the Blues would, a priori, have no intention of resigning. This despite his latest ironic statements, including the famous “we must change the coach” at the microphone of Prime Video after the rout against the MHSC. And nothing indicates that the management of OL wishes to part with it. The meeting would rather be an opportunity to discuss the recent (and eventful) news of the club, between difficult transfer window, delicate passage in front of the DNCG, and of course catastrophic results.
For several days, the name of Bruno Lage has been mentioned to possibly take over from Blanc on the Lyon bench. The Portuguese is the coach of Botafogo, a Brazilian club which belongs in the same way as OL to Eagle Football, the company of John Textor. “He (Textor) can send the Botafogo coach,” even tweeted Jean-Michel Aulas in response to a user who deplored the silence of management, before pleading for the hacking of his account.
