The Lyon management has made a decision concerning the question of the technical bar within the club.
Who will be in charge of OL during the second half of the season? This is the question that occupies the minds of all Rhone supporters. For the moment, there is no answer to this question. The board does not intend to rush to appoint a new boss for the sports sector.
OL remains Wise
If we are to believe information published in L’Equipe this Monday, Lyon officials are considering giving Pierre Sage some time. The idea is to see if the graft can take. During his 1er match against Lens, the former director of the training center was able to remobilize his troops. The result recorded (defeat 2-3) is somewhat harsh compared to the content that was produced. David Friio, the new sporting director, indicated that Sage would still be in place during the late match against OM (scheduled for Wednesday). And it is not excluded that the interim period will extend beyond this period.
The other reason why OL is trying to delay is to be sure not to make a mistake about the identity of the next coach. The Bruno Genesio and Jorge Sampaoli tracks are indeed studied internally, but the watchword is that there is no fire. The idea of calling on a local technician, from the house, does not put off management. We dream of finding a “Franck Haise” and incidentally avoiding huge expenses.
In the meantime, the situation is still worrying on a sporting level. In Bollaert, Lacazette and others recorded their 8e defeat of the exercise. After 13 days, and with a match in hand, they are five points behind the play-off (Lorient).
