The revelations from Italy regarding the possible arrival of Paulo Fonseca at OL are confirmed in France. The Portuguese technician, however, asked John Textor for time.
Pierre Sage perhaps did not see it coming, but the current coach of Olympique Lyonnais now knows it, the leaders of his club are seeking to bring his successor from Italy. This Monday noon, Tuttomercatoweb revealed that the club managed by John Textor had established contacts with Paulo Fonseca, following the latter’s dismissal by AC Milan on December 30. And The Team confirmed that indeed, even if initially, Eagle Football wanted to place the Portuguese coach on the Botafogo bench, the idea of signing him for OL was quickly approached by John Textor, who spoke directly with the former coach of Milan and Lille of the possibility of seeing him replace Pierre Sage. According to our colleagues from the sports daily, the proposal from Olympique Lyonnais has not yet been accepted by Paulo Fonseca.
Fonseca has not yet said yes to OL
Preferring not to respond directly to the offer from OL’s American owner, Paulo Fonseca asked for Lyon’s sporting and financial future to be clearer before saying yes. “ The challenge interests him, but he would be waiting for sporting and financial guarantees before saying yes to John Textor, if obviously the results of OL this week do not allow Pierre Sage to regain credit with his president », specifies The Teameven if this decision to discuss with the Portuguese coach is a real stab in the back of the one who saved Olympique Lyonnais from a descent into Ligue 2 which was announced and even qualified OL for the Europa League.
-Currently, Pierre Sage’s side are sixth in Ligue 1, but only three points behind third-placed Lille. Not enough to convince John Textor to maintain his total confidence in the French technician, and we now have to know how Sage will react to these revelations which can obviously disturb him.
