This Monday, OL parted ways with Laurent Blanc. He is the first L1 coach to be fired this season. To replace him, the Gones are thinking of Gennaro Gattuso, a foreign technician. Asked about French coaches and their valuation in Ligue 1, Didier Deschamps did not mince his words at a press conference.

“I have already spoken on this. I deeply regret it because I find that the French coach is not valued. I am not criticizing the competence of foreign coaches. Coaches who don’t know Ligue 1, who don’t know the French language… I find that we give a lot of credit to a foreign coach while we are much more radical with a French coach. It’s regrettable. » The message has gotten through!
