The new sporting director of OL, David Friio, raised the question of the new coach at Les Gones this Saturday.
OL challenged RC Lens this Saturday in the championship. A meeting that the Rhone residents approached with an interim staff, since Fabio Grosso has just been relieved of his duties. Like Laurent Blanc before him, the Italian coach has paid the price for a succession of bad results.
Friio plans the best for OL
At the Stade Bollaert, Les Gones lost again (1-2), further complicating their sporting situation. Despite this misstep, Pierre Sage, the provisional coach, should remain in his role for at least one more meeting. The one against OM, next Wednesday. This is what David Friio, the club’s new sporting director, said. “There is a good chance that Sage will be present in Marseille. We are in the very short term,” he confided on Prime Video.

The former Marseille director then reacted to the rumors circulating concerning the identity of the future coach. Tudor, Sampaoli and Genesio are notably announced for this rescue mission. “The priority is to take points, he began by reminding. There are five games left before the end of the year. We have put in a staff, and we will see after each match. But we will put things in place, with a real “process” to determine the best for OL. But, of course, I am alert on the subject. All the names of coaches mentioned, they are very good coaches. Some I have met. The rest will come in time.”
“Lyon must learn to walk again”
Finally, when asked about the project he will seek to implement in the Rhône, Friio replied: “The current project is to take points. OL fell. You have to get up, learn to walk again and then run. We are focused on the 5 matches that are coming up.”
