The new defeat conceded by Olympique Lyonnais against Lille t (0-2), Sunday, necessarily weakened Fabio Grosso. And some already imagine a return of Bruno Genesio.
Fabio Grosso and OL are at their worst. Opposed to Lille, Sunday, at the end of the 14e day of Ligue 1, the Lyonnais lost 2-0 at Groupama Stadium and remain stuck in last place in the standings. The arrival of Fabio Grosso, replacing Laurent Blanc, did not make it possible to revive the Gones and the Italian technician even had the worst debut of a coach on the Lyon bench with only five points in seven matches.
The former full-back seems incapable of stopping the machine and some are already campaigning for his dismissal. At the RMC microphone, Stéphane Guy has already found the name of his replacement: Bruno Genesio, recently arrived from Stade Rennais. “I would be Lyon, I would immediately look into Genesio. Genesio’s return to Lyon would look good, he thus launched. They were inspired, those who insulted Genesio! Was he in a situation of failure? It depends on where you find the failure situation. Genesio’s record in Lyon seems entirely defensible to me. A good coach is someone to whom you entrust a group of players and who gets the most out of them. Genesio leaves because he is rotten by the Lyon supporters. »
Stéphane Guy’s opinion, however, is not shared by his friend Daniel Riolo, for whom this OL is worth more than last place in the Ligue 1 standings. “You take any match between the last in the standings and the fourth, it doesn’t give the match we saw this evening. And that should be a wake-up call. At half-time it’s not over. The fourth, when he goes to the last one, he doesn’t play against, he imposes his game, he pointed out. There, we had a match that was balanced most of the time. Except that we have a team which has more efficiency, more offensive talent but for the rest, we do not have one team which crushes the other. »
