Laurent Blanc laid off, Gattuso on pole to replace him

Laurent Blanc will not survive the disastrous start to the Olympique Lyonnais season. The coach, whose contract runs until 2024, has been laid off by the club, reveals The Team this Monday. Blanc will not train on Tuesday, a task that will be carried out by Jean-François Vulliez, a member of his staff, who will be assisted by Sonny Anderson and Jérémie Bréchet.

Laurent Blanc would have been informed on Friday of the decision of his management, which is now looking into the file of his successor on the Lyon bench. A track seems to emerge, that of Gennaro Gattuso. The Italian, whose agent is none other than Jorge Mendes, has been free of any contract since January, after a painful experience in Valencia. He won only seven games out of 22 with the murciélagos.
