Juninho returning to OL?

OL owner John Textor would try to reconnect with Juninho.

If the adventure ended badly for him during his second visit to Lyon, Juninho nonetheless remains an emblematic figure of Les Gones. A reality that John Textor, the American boss of OL, has understood well.

According to L’Equipe, the businessman would work to make the former Brazilian crack his special advisor, like the role that Bernard Lacombe played with Jean-Michel Aulas. Juninho has the advantage in Textor’s eyes of being able to make the link between his French and Auriverde interests.

“ The two men spoke at length in recent days and the exchanges went very well “, assures the sports daily raised. A great revenge in perspective for the man who won seven French championship titles with Lyon but experienced great difficulties as sports director between 2019 and 2021.
