The future of Pierre Sage on the Olympique Lyonnais bench seems very uncertain. John Textor took charge of the case and clearly moved up a gear in order to bring in Paulo Fonseca.
This Wednesday, the OL coach will hold a press conference in Türkiye on the eve of the Europa League match between his team and Fenerbahçe. There is no doubt that Pierre Sage will be questioned about the information which was revealed by various media 48 hours ago, namely that its president, John Textor, established contacts with Paulo Fonseca, recently dismissed by the AC Milan. Even if at first, JT wanted to offer the Botafogo bench to the Portuguese technician, which the latter refused, the boss of Eagle Football then spoke about Olympique Lyonnais, which this time aroused the interest of the former Lille coach. While the Portuguese press claims that Paulo Fonseca has also turned his back on FC Porto, in Brazil it is confirmed that John Textor has indeed offered Olympique Lyonnais to the latter.
Textor received the reply from Paulo Fonseca
During the broadcast First, Paulo Vinícius Coelho, a famous Brazilian journalist who works for UOL and Paramount+, took stock of this issue and the future of Paulo Fonseca, whose name has inevitably returned to the ears of Botafogo supporters. “ Paulo Fonseca liked the Botafogo project, but was not convinced by the idea of coming to Brazil. He said he had young children and wanted to be close to his children, so in Europe. He doesn't want to come at the moment, but Textor continues to discuss with Paulo Fonseca, whether for Botafogo, in the future, because it won't happen now, or for Lyon, an Eagle Football Group club », explains our colleague on this subject.
