Laurent Blanc, the identity of his successor becomes clearer

Oliver Glasner, winner of the Europa League with Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022, would be in pole position to replace Laurent Blanc on the OL bench.

Will Laurent Blanc be on the sidelines of Olympique Lyonnais on September 17 for the reception in Le Havre? Not impossible, but the chances that the native of Alès will be dismissed during the international break remain very real. This week, Sky Sports revealed that John Textor appreciated the profiles of Julen Lopetegui and Paulo Fonseca.

According to Daniel Riolo, it is another technician who would stand out to become the successor of the 1998 world champion. “Oliver Glasner holds the rope, and from afar. It’s the big favorite. In fact, Glasner would have to say no for Lopetegui to return to the race. As for Galtier, Ponsot campaigned for his arrival but Textor dismissed this option out of hand”declared the sports journalist on RMC airwaves.

Oliver Glasner has been free from any contract since he left Frankfurt during the summer, while his lease ran until 2024. The Austrian coach made an impression last year by allowing the German club to win the Europa League, particularly after a victory in the quarter-finals at Camp Nou against FC Barcelona. This former defender, now aged 49, could soon become the coach of the current bottom of Ligue 1.
