According to rumours, Lyon is considering Frank Lampard as a potential manager to take Laurent Blanc’s post.
The French juggernauts are in a bad spot as they now occupy the lowest spot in Ligue 1 with just one point from their first four games.
Due to this, Blanc left his position earlier this week by mutual consent, but a hunt for his successor had already begun.
Graham Potter reportedly had an offer to relocate to Lyon, but the Englishman declined it, according to reports that surfaced last week.
Another former Chelsea manager, Frank Lampard, is now being considered for the Lyon position by the club management, according to 90min.com.
Last time around, Lampard had a really terrible season. He started it as Everton’s manager before being fired in January.
After Potter’s tenure as manager ended and Mauricio Pochettino took over in the summer, he then went back to coach Chelsea in an interim capacity.
There was only one victory throughout that manager’s 11-game run at Stamford Bridge, and eight of those games were losses.
Former AC Milan, Napoli, and Valencia manager Gennaro Gattuso, who has been unemployed since January, is also vying for the position.
The boardroom fight between current president John Textor and former president Jean-Michel Aulas, which isn’t helping their worrying financial situation right now, may deter any contender, though.
