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.

In his four matches, he and his team were unable to win even a single victory. They were only able to score 3 goals in four matches, and worse, they conceded 10 goals in their 4 matches. Of course, something is not going well with what Laurent Blanc is doing this season. Previously, this news was just a rumor, but in the end the decision was taken by Lyon management. Based on Romano's tweet, he reported Olympique Lyonnais president John Textor will decide on a new head coach soon after the decision to fire Laurent Blanc was made Monday.
Gennaro Gattuso had positive conversations with OL but more candidates will soon speak to Texor - then it's time for the final decision. Honestly, I doubt that Gattuso will be able to lift this team back into a team that is respected enough in this competition. Texor must look for a coach with more potential, if they want their team to be able to compete at least in the middle of Ligue 1 or if they are able to aim to enter the top four of the Ligue 1 standings. However, it is not easy to find and get a coach who is experienced and has a good track record. but at least, Lyon must immediately find a replacement coach as soon as possible.
