OL, two (new) leads to replace Laurent Blanc

Julen Lopetegui and Paulo Fonseca are the two new avenues explored by OL leaders to replace Laurent Blanc.

After four days of Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais is in the bottom position of Ligue 1. More than ever, Laurent Blanc’s position as coach is weakened. Several names have already begun to circulate in the press for his possible succession. According to The TeamWill Still and Thiago Motta would appear on the shelves of the leaders of the Rhone club.

Sky Sports reveals for his part that John Textor appreciates the profiles of Julen Lopetegui and Paulo Fonseca. Aged 57, the first city has been free of any contract since leaving Wolverhampton. As for the second, he is under contract with LOSC until June 2024. During the transfer window, the president of the Dogues, Olivier Létang, had rejected, in agreement with the Portuguese technician, an approach from Olympique de Marseille.

The chances that Laurent Blanc will still be on the Lyon bench after the international break are relatively slim. The native of Alès led 37 games on the bench of the seven-time champion of France, with 18 wins, 7 draws and 12 losses.
