Looking for a new coach to replace Laurent Blanc, the owner of OL is encountering some obstacles.
The international break is eventful for Olympique Lyonnais. While Gones are in last place in Ligue 1 after one point taken in four days, the Rhone leaders have made the decision to oust Laurent Blanc. But they are waiting to have unearthed his successor before taking action.
This quest is currently marked by setbacks. Graham Potter refused OL’s approach, and Oliver Glasner, whom John Textor met in Salzburg in recent days, is waiting to know who will take Hansi Flick’s place at the head of the German selection.
Two other targets have emerged in recent days. According to Foot Mercato, the owner of OL is also thinking of Gennaro Gattuso, the former midfielder of AC Milan and the Italian selection, who remains a difficult experience for Valencia in Spain. The other track leads to Habib Beye, with whom John Textor was able to speak.
The problem is that the former Senegalese international is currently working with Red Star, and the National residents do not want to let go of their coach. The owners of the Audonois club are also Americans, 777, and they did not authorize OL to negotiate with Beye. John Textor gets along well with his counterparts, according to L’Equipe. Will he be able to change their minds? As the resumption of Ligue 1 approaches, there is a certain urgency to find the suitable coach.
