The officialization fell on Monday: Rudi Garcia became the new coach of Olympique Lyonnais. After a start of the season rat, with a 14th place in Ligue 1 after nine days, the Rhone club put on the former coach of Marseille to revive. However, Laurent Blanc has long been the favorite.

White did not convince

In his edition of the day, L'Equipe says that the sports director Lyonnais Juninho did not catch with the former squad of the team of France during their meeting last Thursday. The Brazilian even doubts his deep motivation for the job. An impression that did not play in favor of Cvenol when discussing the composition of its future staff.

While he was still in the running for the job Saturday, Blanc insisted on landing Lyon with two assistants (Jean-Louis Gasset and Franck Passi) and a physical trainer (Philippe Lambert). Requirements that further thwarted the discussions between the two parties, until reaching the point of no return. Finally, OL decided to trust Garcia, who agreed to land with only one assistant, Claude Fichaux.

Garcia has the Lyon leaders

The former coach of the OM had also seduced his audience during his grand oral Friday. His knowledge of the Lyon group, his analysis of all the games played by the team this season and the proposed solutions to relaunch with many game plans bluff the leaders. The latter estimated that Garcia was simply better prepared than White.

During my various interviews, I had a real football connection with him. We speak the same language in terms of tactics and play , explained Juninho to justify this choice. He could come quickly, he respects the internal organization. He comes with only one deputy. This structure will combine what worked well and what was missing said President Jean-Michel Aulas on RMC. From now on, Garcia will have to convince Lyon fans.
