Rudi Garcia was one of the names circulating to replace Julien Stéphan, officially dismissed from his position on November 7. Finally, it was Jorge Sampaoli who was chosen to take his place on the bench of the Breton club.
Except that the one who led LOSC to the title of French champion in 2011 could also quickly find a coaching position. And not at just any club since he could return to AS Roma, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport and the Corriere dello Sport. The native of Nemours would be in competition with the Italian Roberto Mancini, favorite for the succession of Ivan Juric, and Edin Terzić.
Rudi Garcia, the romanista
Rudi Garcia coached the Louve club between 2013 and 2016. The French technician is considered a “hot track” by the transalpine media. Indeed, he has the third best average of points gleaned per match among all the coaches who have been with this club for twenty years.
“I would like to say one thing to my fans, now I feel like one of you, I feel like a Romanista”he declared on September 22, 2013, after a victory (2-0) in the Rome derby against Lazio. In 2014 and 2015, Garcia was crowned Italian vice-champion with the club from the capital of La Botte.
