Gattuso, a stone’s throw from Lyon

After the ouster of Laurent Blanc on Monday, Gennaro Gattuso could soon become the new coach of Olympique Lyonnais.

It is no great surprise that Laurent Blanc was dismissed from his position as coach of theOlympique Lyonnais Monday. After a catastrophic start to the season (one draw, three defeats), the Rhone club decided to part ways with the former coach of the France team and is taking advantage of the international break to find his successor.

It smells good for Gattuso

After several rumors leading to Graham Potter, Oliver Glasner or even Habib Beye, the one concerning Gennaro Gattuso seems to be the one most likely to succeed. According to information from RMC Sport this Tuesday, the Italian coach would have given his agreement to become the coach of OL, all that remains is the definitive validation of John Textor for his arrival to take place.
