According to an Argentine journalist, Jorge Sampaoli is close to becoming the next coach of Olympique Lyonnais.
After the defeats in Lens (3-2) and Marseille (3-0), it is still Pierre Sage who is preparing the next meeting of Olympique Lyonnais, Sunday afternoon against Toulouse. But behind the scenes, the Rhone leaders continue to prospect to find the coach who, in the long term, will take over from Fabio Grosso on the Gones bench.
Since the ousting of the Italian technician, two names have emerged: those of Bruno Genesio and Jorge Sampaoli. The former OL coach seemed to hold the rope at one point, with the support of the players, who want to see him return to the club. According to L’Equipe, contacts exist between the leaders of OL and Bruno Genesio.
But then there is the Jorge Sampaoli track. And it would be very hot, if we are to believe the Argentine journalist Gaston Edul. According to it, “Sampaoli is close to becoming the next OL coach. »
The former Chile coach left Ligue 1 in July 2022, because he found that OM lacked ambition, while the Phocaeans had just taken second place in the championship behind PSG. He could therefore return to service at the head of the red lantern. In the meantime, Sampaoli spent a few months at Sevilla FC then at Flamengo, without much success. Will he be the man for the job for OL?
