On Saturday, an article by L’Equipe presented the coach of Strasbourg, Julien Stéphan, as the favorite of the leaders of Olympique Lyonnais to succeed Peter Bosz next season in the event of the dismissal of the Dutchman. The sports newspaper even reported the first positive feedback from the Alsatian, who reacted vigorously to this rumor after the draw against Troyes (1-1) this Sunday in Ligue 1.
“What I can’t control is what Lyon want to do in the future. On the other hand, what I can control and what I can say is that after reading this article, I I was shocked to see that I had given my agreement, or possibly a positive orientation for this, it is false, railed the ex-coach of Rennes at the microphone of Prime Video. It is disrespectful in Strasbourg, also to the coach in place there. Strasbourg is a beautiful club and especially not a doormat that you can trample on like that. It is a club that trusted me at the start of the season. only ambition compared to Lyon is to leave them behind at the end of the season, which would be an incredible achievement.”
