Present at the Groupama stadium on Tuesday evening, John Textor, owner of OL, was able to savour his club’s qualification to the final of the Coupe de France after their 3-0 victory against Valenciennes. After the match, the American completed a eulogy for Lyon coach Pierre Sage.
What an evening at the Groupama Stadium! In an atmosphere of wonderful evenings, OL got rid of Valenciennes (3-0), on Tuesday afternoon, to whistle the final of the Coupe de France. It was the first time since the win over Quevilly in 2012. OL owner John Textor can simply only be satisfied after a night that for a while made us feel the tumult of the failed start to the season that had sent Les Gones back to bottom position in Ligue 1. It was a wonderful night, but we still have some games to win,” he warned, however, in the proposals published through RMC Sport.
John Textor also praised the work of Pierre Sage. Appointed on an interim basis to succeed Fabio Grosso, who resigned from his post just three months after his arrival, the former director of OL’s youth academy agreed with everyone, adding the American. Pierre is doing a wonderful job. He’s never been a head coach before, but he’s the biggest brain we had at the club, in our academy. Players needed smart strategy, smart communication, and to be well supervised. The players have responded favourably, I’m satisfied for him. I think he’s a head coach now,” he said. A hint about a possible extension of Pierre Sage’s adventure at the helm of the first team?Continue.
