Lyon supporters are almost entitled to an Advent calendar this year. The strange Christmas of Mr. Jack. After discovering in the first box a disastrous defeat in extra time against Reims (1-2), then a draw barely less disastrous in Bordeaux (2-2) on December 5, followed by the announcement of the serious Jason Denayer injury on the 6th, they were damn spoiled when they woke up on Wednesday. On this historically celebrated December 8 in Lyon,
The team announces that Juninho could quit his post of sporting director as early as next month.
On this subject, OL, which languishes in 12th place in Ligue 1, did not wait until December to go into a spin. From November 17, 10 days after a rout in Rennes (4-1), “Juni” had offered an unexpected media outlet on RMC Sport, to almost record his departure at the end of the season. “There is enormous mental fatigue and I do not want to exceed the limit, then explained the Brazilian. It’s not a threat, we are adults, I like the club, I have a lot of respect for the president and for the institution. Normally it’s over at the end of the season. I want to rest a little. “
A gloomy December 8 which will end before the disciplinary committee
According to The team, Juninho had not warned anyone internally before this public announcement, which was obviously frowned upon. The sports daily therefore indicates that the former emblematic OL captain, still very popular with supporters, could announce his departure in January, no longer being associated with the major sporting decisions of the club since this interview.
Moreover, the ration of the Advent calendar promises to double this Wednesday since OL could languish in closed-door matches (or even worse) against the disciplinary committee of the LFP. It will judge its responsibilities in the interruption of the famous fiasco against OM, after the bottle throw that affected Dimitri Payet.
