While the future of Laurent Blanc at the head of Olympique Lyonnais no longer seems to be hanging by a thread, the Lyon leaders are already thinking about the name of his successor.
The slap received against PSG on Sunday on the lawn of Groupama Stadium risks costing Laurent Blanc his place. If no decision has yet been taken within the staff of Olympique Lyonnais, the trend is clearly towards a dismissal of the 1998 world champion.
According to L’Equipe, the Rhone club has already started looking for his successor. Several names were mentioned. And if Marcelo Gallardo, although without a club, rejected Lyon’s advances, two other technicians are in OL’s small papers: Will Still and Thiago Motta.
The task will not be easy, however, for the leaders of Lyon since the two men are in post, respectively in Remis and Bologna. As for Bruno Lage, the coach of Botafogo, the track would have been closed since the technician would not be available before December.
