Five days before the match against Paris Saint-Germain, Laurent Blanc’s future at Olympique Lyonnais is more uncertain than ever.
Arrived on the bench of Olympique Lyonnais last October, Laurent Blanc could already go away. This before the end of the expiry of his current contract until June 2024.
According to L‘Team, Cévenol could play for its future when they receive Paris Saint-Germain at Groupama Stadium, this Sunday as part of the 4th day of Ligue 1. According to our colleagues, the president and owner of OL, John Textor, was considering moreover already to separate from the French technician this summer, but finally changed his mind in view of the just honorable results of Les Gones during the return phase of the championship.
But the alarming record of the Lyonnais (1 draw, 2 defeats) at the start of the 2023-24 season could well cost the 98 world champion his position. And to ensure his succession, the American leader would have checked the name of Bruno Lage. The Portuguese manager under contract until next December with the Brazilian club Botafogo, also owned by the boss of OL. Or possibly, the appointment of an interim head of the team. In other words, the Rhone coach advances with a Damocles sword above his head.
