According to media reports, coach Peter Bosz’s end at Olympique Lyon is a done deal. Like the Dutch edition of “ESPN” first and later also the French newspaper “L’Equipe” reported, the former Leverkusen coach has already been fired internally, and the separation is to be officially announced on Sunday. OL have been five games without a win and are currently seventh in Ligue 1.
Lyon were held to a 1-1 draw by Toulouse on Friday after losing four in a row. Overall, Bosz has averaged 1.67 points from 58 games since taking charge in May 2021, a poorer tally compared to the last two coaches who have been on the touchlines for more than 50 games. A few weeks ago there had been reports of an ultimatum for Bosz, which the club denied at the time.
According to the French newspaper, the successor to the 58-year-old is as good as certain. It is said to be the former French national coach and ex-PSG coach Laurent Blanc. President Jean-Michel Aulas has been dreaming of winning the 56-year-old for orienteering for several years. Blanc, world champion from 1998, has not been engaged since his release from Al-Rayyan SC in February. He was contacted the day after the defeat in Lens eight days ago. Noisy “L’Equipe“One has even come to an agreement on a contract until 2024 plus an option for another year. The new coach will be unveiled on Monday.
