To revive Olympique Lyonnais next season, Peter Bosz has already made his choices. The Dutch coach no longer counts on certain elements in his eleven type, and let them know.
In Lyon, Bosz no longer has the right to make mistakes
Eighth in Ligue 1 at the end of the 2021-2022 season, Olympique Lyonnais will have to do much better in the next exercise to erase this bitter setback. The change in ownership, with the arrival of John Textor as the new majority shareholder, triggered a wave of optimism among supporters. But the latter are now waiting to know what the team will look like on the ground to be completely reassured.
One thing is certain: Peter Bosz will always be present on the bench. Maintained as OL coach despite a disappointing first season, the Dutchman will have a second chance. With his reduced credit, he shouldn’t miss the start of the next financial year. To help him, the Lyon leaders want to strengthen the squad quickly so that he can start the season with an eleven guy who will have benchmarks. And the technician already has some ideas regarding the players who will not be part of it.
Dembl and Paqueta pushed out?
According to L’Equipe, Bosz spoke at the end of the season with certain elements and would have explained to them that they will not leave as holders. These players include striker Moussa Dembl, central defender Jrme Boateng, right-back Lo Dubois and midfielder Houssem Aouar. Even attacking midfielder Lucas Paqueta, who was so valuable last season, would no longer really be part of the collective project. In other words, these five-l will not necessarily be retained this summer. But the management of Lyon has so far received no concrete offer.
OL version 2022-2023 should rely on several young elements (Gusto, Lukeba, Lepenant, Caqueret, Faivre, Cherki) supervised by experienced players, such as Anthony Lopes, Thiago Mendes, Karl Toko Ekambi or Alexandre Lacazette , who signed his return to his training club this summer. To complete this list, Les Gones are waiting for Feyenoord left-back Tyrell Malacia for 15 million euros and are in talks with Shakhtar Donetsk to keep the winger Tet. On paper, the project is interesting and marks the return of the OL DNA desired by Jean-Michel Aulas.
