Jean-Michel Aulas spoke of his reconciliation with John Textor.
The two men fought from afar for several months as their club sank. On 10 December, bottom of Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais hosted Toulouse and won by 3 goals to 0 after a thrashing won in Marseille four days earlier (3-0). It is a victory, the first under the command of Pierre Sage, which also marked the reconciliation between John Textor and Jean-Michel Aulas. The owner of the Rhône club and former president of the OL, expelled by the American, spent the night together.
“We made the decision to talk. From that moment on, John told me, ‘They gave you to go back to the stadium. ‘Since it didn’t have a place, I asked him how we did it. He said, “You come with me, close to me. We’ll go through and see the players combined before this game,” Jean-Michel Aulas explained in an interview with Canal before continuing.
“They must have been surprised,” continues Jean-Michel, Aulas. Me too. I felt a little embarrassed. Very moved. My legs were made of cotton. I wasn’t prepared and it was very emotional. I don’t think it was an act of communication but a positive act of reconciliation that allowed everyone to locate their bases. “Les Gones are now 15th in Ligue 1 and are therefore no longer in the relegation zone.
