The OL boss, after thanking Laurent Blanc, struck again.

On September 11, Laurent Blanc was dismissed from his position as OL coach, replaced by the Italian Fabio Grosso. In recent hours, John Textor, the boss of Les Gones, decided to break up with another technician: the coach of Botafogo – another club in which the American businessman is a majority shareholder.

If his team is at the top of the Brazilian championship after 25 days (out of 38), Bruno Lage has an average record of four wins, seven draws and four defeats since he took over from Luis Castro and Claudio Caçapa last July .

Above all, the person concerned saw his players – including former Lyon players Rafael and Marçal – only take one point in the last four tricks. A dark series which earned the Portuguese to be disembarked in favor of Lucio Flavio. Botafogo has not been champion since 1995.
