While his departure has been made official by Olympique de Marseille, David Friio could quickly bounce back with Olympique Lyonnais.
David Friio was still a manager of Olympique de Marseille a few weeks ago, when the match against Olympique Lyonnais could not be played due to incidents around the Stade Vélodrome. Will he be in the opposite camp, on December 6, when the match is replayed?
This Thursday, the departure of the 50-year-old leader was made official by OM, where he will be replaced by Mehdi Benatia. And quickly, rumors of his departure for OL began to circulate, fueled by Foot Mercato and L’Equipe.
Friio could thus very soon become the sporting director of the Rhodaniens. The club led by John Textor is in the process of restructuring, with the departures in particular of Vincent Ponsot and Bruno Cheyrou. If Textor wants Juninho to return, it would rather be in the role of presidential advisor. And it is Friio who would be responsible for managing the daily affairs of the club.
In Lyon, the former Manchester United recruiter could find Mathieu Louis-Jean, who has already made the journey from Marseille to Lyon to become OL’s recruitment director. It is even the latter who would have pushed the Gones to bet on Friio, indicates L’Equipe.
