According to information from L’Équipe, John Textor is considering surrounding himself with Juninho, the ultimate idol of the Lyon people who left the club in 2021.
In these times, this is perhaps the only information that could revive hope in the Rhône. While Olympique Lyonnais, last in Ligue 1 with 4 points on the clock and no success in mid-November, is experiencing the worst start to the season in its history, John Textor would consider surrounding himself with a certain Juninho for the future of his mandate in Lyon.
According to information from L’Équipe, the American businessman would like to make the Brazilian his special advisor, as Bernard Lacombe was able to be with Jean-Michel Aulas for many years.
An ultra-popular legend in the OL environment, Juninho maintains excellent popularity with supporters. His status as an immense player, his love for the club, but also his time as sporting director, with certain success and quality recruits (Lucas Paqueta, Bruno Guimaraes, etc.), before a departure in a certain confusion.
L’Équipe thus specifies that Textor and Juninho have had recent exchanges, and that the flow between the two men would have gone well. A prospect that should bring a smile to the faces of Olympique Lyonnais fans.
