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.

Lyon finished seventh last season which made them not qualify for any of the European championships and the Ligue 1 season is still young. Lyon can still improve and fight for a place in Europe for next season. But the the club management has the final decision. The main challenge now will be to get the best replacement for Laurent Blanc. I read that that the former Brighton and Chelsea manager Graham Potter was contacted to replace the Frenchman but he turned down the deal. The club is now heavily link to the former Napoli, Milan, and Valencia manager Gennaro Gattuso. Except the John Textor has other plans for Gattuso, I don't think the Italian is better than Blanc.
