A new name has appeared in the list of potential new coaches for Olympique Lyonnais. And he would hold the rope to succeed Laurent Blanc, sacked on Monday. According to L’Equipe, the Italian Fabio Grosso, 45, recently spoke with President John Textor in recent days and his profile is popular internally.

Former player of the club (2007-2009), the former left-back is coming off a successful season on the bench of Frosinone, with whom he won the Serie B championship before leaving this summer. This puts a blow to Gennaro Gattuso, teammate of Grosso in the selection and world champion in 2006 like him.

But the series seems far from over. Another avenue would lead to Habib Beye, the former OM defender, today coach of Red Star in the National. Earlier this week, former Chelsea manager Graham Potter turned down the job.
