While Lyon are not getting there at the start of the season, the columnist for RMC, Daniel Riolo, mentioned the reasons for the club’s situation, knocking out the ex-president of OL, Jean-Michel Aulas.

Olympique Lyonnais is having a nightmarish start to the season. Beaten by Strasbourg (2-1) and Montpellier (1-4) during the first two days of Ligue 1, Laurent Blanc’s men did little better this Sunday on the lawn of OGC Nice (0-0 ). An alarming record for the Gones one week before the reception of Paris Saint-Germain at Groupama Stadium.

“The problem does not date from Textor”

Present on the set ofAfter Foot, on RMC Sport radio, Daniel Riolo pointed out the mistakes made in recent years by Jean-Michel Aulas. He judges the former president of the Rhone club responsible for the situation that the seven-time champion of France is going through, currently positioned in 16th place in the ranking.

“Of course John Textor is not an ace. Lyon had been sinking for 4 or 5 years alreadyfirst dropped the polemicist. This is the story of a fall initiated by Jean-Michel Aulas, it was he who initiated the fall because he never knew how to renew himself. He made bad coaching choices, bad choices in recruitment and it is the club with the second largest budget after PSG. And the editorialist adds: “The problem does not date from Textor, the fall of OL began quite a few years ago”.
