At the trouble in Ligue 1, with a sad 14th place, the Rhodanians have much better started their European campaign. After a draw (1-1, facing the Zenith) followed by a win (2-0 in Leipzig), OL is in second place in group G, with four points, in the company of St. Petersburg.
Garcia led 24 games in the Champions League
Rudi Garcia has already led a total of 24 games in the Champions League, and two more in the LOSC barrage (2011-2012 and 2012-2013), then with AS Roma (2014-2015 and 2015-2016).
His record is four wins, two with Lille, against CSKA Moscow and BATE Borisov, and two with AS Roma, against CSKA Moscow again and Bayer Leverkusen, for eight draws and twelve losses, for a total of of only 17% success.
Garcia suffered heavy defeats
This ratio is the lowest for a French coach who has played more than one season in the Champions League. In addition to this low balance, Rudi Garcia has also experienced real disillusionment and very serious defeats. In the 2012-2013 season, LOSC had lost to BATE Borisov (1-3) and was humiliated in Germany against Bayern Munich (6-1).
The Bavarian club had made him some misery in 2014-2015, while he was running AS Roma (7-1). Finally, during his last European experience to date, in 2015-2016, still with La Louve, Garcia had to digest a 6-1 inflicted by FC Barcelona, before being later dismissed by his management.
In Lyon, Rudi Garcia will go straight to the heart of the matter. After his convincing success on the lawn of RB Leipzig (2-0), October 2, OL will have to follow on Wednesday, October 23 (9 pm, live on RMC Sport 1), on the lawn of Benfica. This may be an opportunity for Rudi Garcia to mislead the statistics.
