While the names of more experienced strategists continue to circulate behind the scenes – those of Jorge Sampaoli or Bruno Genesio for example – the one who until then held the position of director of the OL training center, particularly appreciated by the Rhone locker room , will be able to lead Lacazette and others for two more matches, at a minimum.
