Target of Olympique Lyonnais, Oliver Glasner is also in the shortlist of the German selection.

Last in Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais is experiencing a very turbulent international period. The Rhone club has reportedly made the decision to part ways with Laurent Blanc, and is actively seeking his successor.

Thiago Motta will not be interested in the position, and Graham Potter, the former Chelsea coach, is also said to have declined the Gones approach. Another targeted one has emerged since Thursday, according to L’Equipe. This is Oliver Glasner, the Europa League winning coach with Frankfurt in 2022.

The German coach has been free since his departure from Eintracht, but he is also on the shelves of the German federation. Hansi Flick’s place at the head of the Mannschaft is in danger and, as noted by the Olympique-et-Lyonnais website, Glasner is one of the potential successors, just like Julian Nagelsmann.
