With the recent departure of Laurent Blanc, Olympique Lyonnais must find a new coach. If John Textor is looking for a foreign coach, certain French profiles are attractive, such as that of a former Rennais.
On September 17, theOL hosts Le Havre for a match counting for the fifth day of Ligue 1. Still looking for a first victory in the championship, Lyon does not yet know who the next coach will be. For the moment, it is the trio made up of Vulliez, Bréchet and Anderson who will act as interim manager. Probably not for very long because John Textor is working hard to find the rare gem. Gennaro Gattuso is the favorite to coach OL but as Didier Deschamps points out, a French profile can make a big difference. An opinion visibly shared by Nicolas Puydebois. This Monday, September 11, the consultant for the show Tant qu’il sera des Gones proposed the name of Julien Stéphan to redress the crisis situation that the Rhone club is going through.
Julien Stéphan is free, John Textor’s dilemma
“In the profile of what OL wants to do, namely getting young people to play, having a playing philosophy, Julien Stéphan, with whom I played, has the right profile. He coached the Stade Rennais reserve for a very long time before taking the number 1 place with results” assured the columnist who believes that Julien Stéphan, recently sacked by Strasbourg, has ample capacity to build a competitive team in Lyon, as he did for three seasons at Stade Rennais or even in Strasbourg since during his first season in Alsace , Racing finished in a surprising and attractive sixth place. However, despite the exploits of the 41-year-old former midfielder, the president of OL seems to be directing his choice towards a foreign coach even if currently, it is impossible to know who will be the future coach of the seven-time champion club. of France.
