Increasingly threatened by possible eviction, Pierre Sage could pay the price for OL's sluggish dynamics. Especially since the Rhone management is already moving its pawns forward to find a successor, who could well be Paulo Fonseca, former coach of LOSC.
Pierre Sage in an ejection seat for the benefit of Paulo Fonseca?
The pill has probably still not passed. Disastrously eliminated against Bourgoin-Jaillieu, with a feeling of “ shame » who inhabited the entire club by his own admission Pierre Sagethe weather is no longer good on the OL side. The draw, Saturday evening, against Toulouse at home (0-0) confirmed the Gones' difficulties in the game this winter, they who remain on a series of four points in four matches – including a very well paid victory against Montpellier (1-0). As much as could grow John Textorpresident-owner of the Lyon club, to part ways with Pierre Sage, architect of an exceptional turnaround last season (from last place in Europe) and a conclusive autumn.
Especially since, according to information from Foot Marketthe Rhone board is already prospecting to find its successor. And would have notably checked the name of Paulo Fonsecawith whom discussions would even have been opened. The Portuguese technician, who put LOSC back on track from 2022 to 2024, remains on a much less convincing experience at AC Milan, from where he was sacked at the end of December. The fault lies in checkered results and a style that struggled to really make an impact over time. Six months after his departure from France, the former Lille player could therefore make his return to Ligue 1, a championship that he greatly appreciated.
