Peter Bosz is surely living his last moments as coach of Olympique Lyonnais. According to the latest information from the Dutch press this Sunday morning, the coach has already been dismissed by his management, following a meeting held on Saturday in the presence of the thinking heads of the Rhone club. And OL have already found their successor…
Indeed, according to our information, the French coach Laurent Blanc could well take the reins of the current seventh in Ligue 1 after a lackluster start to the season (4 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses). Indeed, the track leading to the former Paris Saint-Germain tactician does not date from yesterday, since the president of the club Jean-Michel Aulas had already contacted him following an ultimatum received by Bosz from the part of its director of football Vincent Ponsot, and this before the setback against PSG in mid-September (0-1).
Negotiations will take time
Moreover, still according to our information, nothing has been signed for the moment between the two parties. The negotiations are expected to continue during the coming week due to the high salary demands of the 56-year-old technician, free of any contract after his dismissal from Al Rayyan (Qatar). Nevertheless, Jean-Michel Aulas does not want to let go of this track, he who wishes to have a major French coach to bring his club up the slope in the championship. The Lyon boss has been trying to sign the 1998 world champion for several years, in vain so far.
In the event of signing, Laurent Blanc would bring in his luggage Franck Passi, who was his deputy in Qatar between December 2020 and February 2022. The director of the training center Jean-François Vulliez will also be included in the technical staff in order to strengthen the relationship. with young players and confirm the important place of OL’s DNA. Pending the end of discussions between the two parties, Claudio Caçapa, assistant to Lyon since January 2016, will take control of the first team next weekend against Rennes, the only one to have the necessary diplomas.
