Laurent Blanc’s days at the head of OL are numbered and it should not take long for us to know the name of his replacement.
Laurent Blanc should not get old on the Lyon side. His fate already seems sealed. As soon as the owners of the Rhone club have found a new coach, the Cévénol will have to give up their apron. And it may very well be that it is only a matter of days for this scenario to happen.
Gattuso and Beye targeted by OL
Lyon decision-makers have approached numerous technicians in recent days. Graham Potter, Julen Lopetegui and Oliver Glasner were all sounded out but none of them took the job this poisoned chalice. Nevertheless, John Textor does not despair. And his disciples are consistent in their ideas. Other coach profiles are currently being studied.
According to Foot Mercato, OL have started negotiations with Gennaro Gattuso, the former coach of Valencia. The latter was cited for a time in Marseille to ensure the succession of Igor Tudor, but the trail quickly died out. Now, it is at the other Olympic that the 2006 world champion is announced. Note that “Rino” is represented by the famous agent Jorge Mendes. Which could be a serious advantage for settling down somewhere.
Besides Gattuso, there is also the Habib Beye option. The Canal+ consultant has never hidden his desire to coach at the highest level and this opportunity could arrive faster than expected. He would have even already been auditioned with this in mind. However, snatching him from Red Star, where he is under contract, will not be easy. Textor would especially not want to fall out with the American owners of the Ile-de-France club.
