John Textor spoke this Tuesday evening to comment on the rumor of Juninho’s arrival in the Olympique Lyonnais organization chart.
These days, Olympique Lyonnais supporters are clinging to branches for hope. While the Rhone club is in a catastrophic situation with a last place in Ligue 1 as winter approaches, the hypothesis of a return of Juninho emerges as a reason for hope to try to redress the situation.
A few days ago, the newspaper L’Equipe indicated that the Brazilian legend of OL could return to the organization chart as an advisor to John Textor, like what Bernard Lacombe was doing alongside Jean-Michel Aulas. Textor did not deny this report, but he indicated that Juninho would certainly stay in Brazil, whatever his future role.
“ There is not a scenario where he will physically return to Lyon completely, launched the businessman on RMC Sport. He loves his life in Brazil with his family. I think he’ll get involved again and be helpful. But I didn’t ask him to come back to France. You know, if you had his life in Rio, you would stay in Rio. I really think he has OL in his heart. He clearly wants to help and I appreciate that. His best days at Lyon are yet to come » concluded the American.
