by Lyon announced the dismissal of the Italian coach. Fabio Grossothe second he cast this season after the Frenchman Laurent Blanc, after the bad streak of results that keep them at the bottom.
Grosso took charge of the team after the dismissal on the fourth day of Blanc, who only added one point in the first four league games, but the Italian’s balance has not been positive: one win and three draws in seven games. The problems are multiplying for a historic French football team, which is five points away from safety, with one game less, and which sees how it is slowly falling out of the race.
The defeat in their stadium against Lille last weekend has ended up settling the future of Grosso, who has not stopped introducing changes to his eleven, names and tactical system, without finding the key to victory. He even recently dared to sit on the bench with his star, the striker Alexandre Lacazette., against Rennes and against Lille he started but changed him at half-time. Some very critical decisions that will not help in an already heated environment.
Possible substitutes
At the moment the current director of the quarry, Pierre Sage, without experience on first division benches, will be the provisional coach waiting for the club’s owner, American billionaire John Textor, to find a new coach. The club has already set out to find a replacement and there are three coaches who are very well positioned: Bruno Genésio, Igor Tudor and Jorge Sampaoli. The first left through the back door of Lyon and the last two have been coaches of Olympique de Marseille recently.
Be that as it may, the OL needs a change now. Dominator with an iron fist of Ligue 1 in the first decade of the century, where he won seven championships in a row – the only ones he has – Now the club stops for one of the most delicate moments in its entire history.
