“We have to change the coach…” In a tone of irony, Laurent Blanc had almost demanded his departure after a humiliation against Montpellier at home (1-4). A draw and a new humiliation later this time against PSG still at home (1-4), the departure of the 1998 world champion seems inevitable. The Lyon leaders, led by John Textor, are obviously already looking into his succession.
And according to Team information, the name of Habib Beye regularly comes up on the table. The current coach of Red Star, at the head of National after 5 days and who receives Rouen this Monday evening, has even been auditioned in recent days by the new boss of OL. The former Senegalese international remains under contract with the Audonian club, and the Americans of 777, owners of Red Star, may not want to release him.
Who on the bench against Le Havre?
Other coaches are also in the Lyon shortlist… And even ahead of Habib Beye. Former Chelsea and Brighton manager Graham Potter was the first to chat with John Textor, again according to our colleagues from The Team. Former Frankfurt coach Oliver Glasner was also interviewed mid-week in Salzburg, Austria.
Other avenues considered to succeed Laurent Blanc, Gennaro Gattuso would have been approached by the Lyon leaders selon Foot Market. The Italian, who has passed through Milan, Naples and even Valencia, has not yet received a concrete offer on the table. More importantly, the departure of Laurent Blanc has not yet been confirmed. OL must host Le Havre next Sunday at Groupama Stadium, but with who on the bench?
