OL compensated for the departure of David Friio with the appointment of Daniel Congré, in a slightly different role. The new OL sports coordinator has also taken up his duties with complete discretion.
After a disappointing transfer window last summer, John Textor chose to part ways with David Friio. The former sports director has packed his bags and to fill his departure, Olympique Lyonnais has opted for a different profile with Daniel Congré. The former Toulouse and Montpellier player arrived in the Rhône with a role which has some differences compared to that of his predecessor. Indeed, it was with the title of sports coordinator that Daniel Congré initialed his contract with OL in complete discretion since the Rhone club never communicated about this signature. It was also a question whether this arrival was still on the agenda, but journalist Arnaud Clément gave us the answer, with supporting evidence.
Daniel Congré has signed with OL
Daniel Congré has taken up his new role at Olympique Lyonnais well since OL's new sports coordinator traveled with Pierre Sage's group to Germany for the Europa League match against Hoffenheim. The Progrès journalist also provided some details on the future role of Daniel Congré in the capital of Gaul. “Sports coordinator, which potentially encompasses quite a few things… But to ensure the staff-player link for example” our colleague clarified. For those who were wondering, the arrival of Daniel Congré in Lyon did not go wrong, it now remains to be seen whether John Textor will communicate on this subject in the coming days or whether the former MHSC player will act in the shadows , without any press conference or interview being granted to him.
