Following the decision made at the end of the afternoon, OL announced, through a statement on their official website, that their coach Pierre Sage would remain in charge of his first team. He’s coming to update former Italian coach Fabio Grosso and revive an OL. A team in crisis since the start of the season, the former Crvena Zvezda coach has discovered the ingredients to get Lyon out of the red zone and relaunch a new dynamic.
Once they regained their confidence in their coach, OL have had an encouraging month of December, stringing together 3 consecutive victories without conceding a single one, against TFC, Monaco and Nantes. The “Gones” are now in 15th place in Ligue 1, an unforeseen start to the season. In short, Pierre Sage has four wins and two defeats in all competitions, with a place in the last 16 of the Coupe de France after his good luck by 0-3 on the pitch of Pontarlier.
L’OL se déplacera lors de la prochaine journée de Ligue 1 au stade Océane du Havre, l’occasion pour les Lyonnais de réaliser un bon coup au classement et de confirmer la confiance retrouvée en son entraîneur.
