According to information from L’Equipe, Laurent Blanc is already in the hot seat on the side of OL and his team will quickly have to convince in Ligue 1 unless there is a change of coach decided by John Textor.
Hired by Jean-Michel Aulas on October 9, 2022, after Peter Bosz was sidelined, Laurent Blanc may not last long in John Textor’s OL. “The President” did not convince last season and the Gones finished in a disappointing 7th place in Ligue 1, without European qualification. The Lyonnais’ pre-season preparation is not convincing either.
According The Team this Saturday, a week before a first match in Strasbourg (Sunday evening, 8:45 p.m.), the former coach of Les Bleues is already under pressure. The formation led by Alexandre Lacazette will have to make a successful start to the season (Montpellier, Nice and a shock against PSG on September 3 are on the program) unless there is a new upheaval on the bench.
The American owner of Olympique Lyonnais would thus think of Bruno Lage, a Portuguese technician who has just been appointed to Botafogo, the Brazilian club also owned by Textor. The former Benfica and Wolverhampton manager (although he failed in the Premier League) has a more modern playing philosophy than Blanc. Certainly.
