Author of a remarkable media outing after the scathing defeat of OL against Montpellier (1-4), Saturday, Laurent Blanc would be on an ejection seat, according to Pascal Dupraz.
“Perhaps we need to change coach… Why not? No, but you ask me what to do, I tell you that maybe we need to change coaches. If, as you say, we have a quality squad tonight, then Montpellier’s squad is very, very high quality, because they have hurt us and I think they have the players we are missing. » Coming out of the heavy home defeat of Olympique Lyonnais – the second in two official matches – against Montpellier (1-4) on Saturday, Laurent Blanc split from a lunar outing, to say the least, at the time of discuss the changes to be made, according to him, by the end of the transfer window.
🤨 “We need to change coaches.”

For Pascal Dupraz, these statements from the Cévennes are those of a disillusioned coach, who is about to be ousted… ” I don’t know if he’s looking to get fired but he’s gonna get replaced, that’s how I hear it, analyzed the former Greens coach this Sunday on RMC. What Laurent Blanc is trying to make us swallow is that he has no team and is waiting for a substantial recruitment. »
“He explains his discomfort to us in fact”
“What happens, as always for coaches – a fabulous but thankless job – is that the person who brought him in and who was running OL (Jean-Michel Aulas, editor’s note) was herself rejected, continued Dupraz. Blanc may not be the coach Textor wanted (the new American owner of OL, editor’s note). »
“He explains to us his discomfort in fact, he is impatiently awaiting recruits, insists Dupraz. He forgets that he still has a team. He knows that he will no longer be the coach of OL, the bad results will rush things. He is disillusioned. In Montpellier, everyone is behind Michel Der Zakarian, which is not the case in Lyon with Blanc. » The next few days could well be hot on the Rhône side…
