Red lantern of Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais separated from its coach Laurent Blanc on Friday night. Jean-François VullIiez is the new number 1 and will be assisted by Sonny Anderson and Jérémie Bréchet.
Laurent Blanc, who was under contract until June 2024, is no longer OL's coach. Tuesday's training will be provided by Jean-François Vulliez, who was part of his staff, and who will have as assistants Sonny Anderson (president's advisor) and Jérémie Bréchet, current U19 coach.
Blanc, who learned the news on Friday, was removed from office and will therefore no longer sit on the Lyon bench. Vulliez will act as an interim while John Textor continues to look for a number 1. Gennaro Gattuso, advised by influential agent Jorge Mendes, is one of the candidates. The Italian technician (45 years old) has been free since his departure from Valencia at the end of January.
