Foot OL – Fabio Grosso will sign, OL’s comeback announced – Olympique Lyonnais

OL’s choice seems to have fallen on Fabio Grosso, who is negotiating the final details of his coaching contract. A nomination which is unanimous, and which should allow OL to move up the rankings.

L’Olympique Lyonnais is very close to finally completing the quest for his new trainer. Since Wednesday, the name of Fabio Grosso has come back in force and it is indeed the new priority of the Lyon management. For once, John Textor seems to have listened to his entourage and in particular the thinking heads of OL, to take his time so as not to rush to choose Gennaro Gattuso, who was pushed by Jorge Mendes to quickly sign for Lyon. The owner put this file on hold, which had the gift of surprise, before turning to the profile of another Italian. This one has a lot of advantages, including the fact of being free, of having played in Lyon, of remaining on a good performance last season with Frosinone, and of being very well rated by the followers of Italian football for his ideas, his game project and his way of managing a group. Even Daniel Riolo, who believed that OL had to do everything to take Oliver Glasner, is won over and believes on RMC that the choice of Fabio Grosso is the right one.

Riolo valid the Grosso slopes

« Basically, he wants to come. He said yes, and he ticks all the boxes of what the club wants. There’s a very good chance it’s him. He doesn’t have crazy experience, but he seems to me to have clearer ideas than Gattuso about the game he wants his team to play. Afterwards, if Lyon could have had better, it would have had better. Now, I find it interesting because the attractiveness of OL is declining. I said this squad wasn’t as bad as you might think. And in no case could he be where he is in the ranking, and he had to be much higher, that is to say at least in the first six of the ranking. With a different coach, it will be better », Delivered Daniel Riolo, who tries to remain cautious, but nevertheless knows that Fabio Grosso, despite the complicated situation, will quickly be asked for results to bring OL up from their last place in the ranking.
