Lyon has officially parted ways with Laurent Blanc. It seems that the rumors a few days ago have finally been answered and with this Lyon will immediately look for a new coach to fill the vacant coaching chair. Laurent Blanc was fired by Lyon after a poor start to the season, suffering many defeats and eventually placing them at the bottom of the standings. At this time it has not been confirmed that an interim coach will be appointed in the near future and considering that this week Ligue 1 has started again, Lyon must move quickly before they suffer another bad result.

Now the conditions are getting more difficult for the team and there will be two possibilities, they will get worse or they will get up.
Now it is rumored that Gattuso is very strong in managing the Lyon team, I have a little doubt because Gattuo is not a coach who has brilliant achievements.
In fact, there is nothing wrong for the club to immediately take the important decision to fire the coach because after all, this is an anticipatory step so that he does not achieve bad results again in the near future. We know that it must be very difficult for Lyon in the current conditions to start collecting lots of points in several matches so that they can return to a higher position in the standings. Even though we know Lacazette is still absent due to his previous red card, still at times like that Laurent Blanc doesn't have a good strategy so his team can win.
Regarding Gattuso who is a candidate as Lyon's new coach, I think he is quite good but it is not often that he fails as a coach. I think even though this seems rushed in determining the fate of the next coach, I hope Lyon can choose the coach they really need to improve the morality of their players.
