Contacting Paulo Fonseca, John Textor destabilizes the OL

The start of 2025 is complicated for Pierre Sage, and his wish to be judged in the long term, expressed a week ago in front of his club's partners gathered in the lounges of Groupama Stadium, is already pious. Weakened by a series of disappointing results (two defeats, a draw for a success in L1) and performances below those of the autumn, the Lyon coach must also assume the elimination at Bourgoin-Jallieu (N3, 2- 2, 2-4 at the tab) in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, last Wednesday. In the Championship Lyon is two points from fourth place, synonymous with the Champions League and three from the podium, but it only took a few less convincing weeks for John Textor to consider replacing the existing coach.
