Following OL’s poor start to the season and its various media outings about its future, Laurent Blanc seems closer than ever to an end to the adventure in Lyon. Some no longer have any doubts.
The new Ligue 1 season has barely started when Olympique Lyonnais already finds itself on the brink of crisis. After two days and as many defeats, the Gones occupy (with Clermont) the place of red lantern of the classification. At the same time, Laurent Blanc’s various statements to the press are not very reassuring, the Lyon coach having again ironically launched on Saturday on Prime Video : “ You may need to change the trainer“. For some observers, the mass has already been said.
Still in office, Laurent Blanc had an appointment Monday with his boss, John Textor. With a status quo decided for the moment. But according to Karim Bennani, this is explained. ” John Textor does not have the possibility of finding him a successor for the momentsaid the journalist on the channel The Team. In his head it’s done in my opinion. There are rumors of Bruno Lage who is about to be champion with Botafogo and you know that in Brazil there is not the same time frame as us, the championship ends in December.”
Change in December?
Everything could therefore settle this winter on the side of OL, according to Karim Bennani. ” I think everything is already done in John Textor’s head. Leave Laurent Blanc for a few months to see how it goes. I’m not saying that John Textor thinks that the season is over but he says to himself ‘why not, if we are still in the nails, Bruno Lage will arrive in December and he will take over from Blanc’. “For the observer, the tricolor coach” was already condemned even before the start of the season“. In conclusion, he delivered his sentence: I think today is the end.”
