The sportsman and history. The themes are varied for Olivier Létang, a busy LOSC president.
Guest of RMC Wednesday evening, Olivier Létang swept the Lille news. President very present in the media, he has already reassured the supporters about the future of Jonathan David, who will not leave this winter according to the leader of the Mastiffs: “He will stay with us, he is an important player who puts 20 or 25 goals. We have objectives in May, namely qualification for the Champions League, and that would balance out a transfer which is not happening.” The choice is therefore sporting rather than financial, while the Canadian striker – who has just become the top scorer in the history of his selection – will be at the end of his contract at the end of this season and should therefore leave free.
“I’m small on the poster, but I shouldn’t have been there”
“His situation is very simple, we are very happy to have him with us and we were not keen to sell him this summer either. We had no offers and we thought about the athlete. He has already an extension offer, obviously, and the ball is in his court.” However, as we have understood, Létang is getting used to the idea of the departure of its center forward in 2025, which would end a five-year adventure.
The LOSC boss also spoke about the club's 80th anniversary, which will be celebrated this weekend on the sidelines of the Rennes reception. Christophe Galtier, champion coach of France in 2021, was surprised a few weeks ago to discover that he was not on the presentation poster, unlike his president who must admit a certain anomaly and accuses a agency in connection with the marketing team: “There was 80 years of history with a lot of people. He deserved to be on it, like Claude Puel. There are plenty of people who, unfortunately, are not there. I I'm small, but I shouldn't have been there. I'm just the heir of what happened before.
