Friio in pole position for the position of sports director at OL
Will David Friio move from OM to OL? The hypothesis gained weight while his departure from the Marseille club, where he held the position of sports director, was announced this Thursday, Lyon is thinking of him to occupy similar functions as revealed by Foot Mercato. In Marseille, the formalization of the arrival of Medhi Benatia to succeed him is imminent.
John Textor intends to continue the reorganization of the Lyon organizational chart. Laurent Prud’homme has just been officially appointed general manager, taking over the prerogatives of Thierry Sauvage (departing general manager) and Santiago Cucci (CEO since July). As indicated by RMC Sport, the owner of OL is also considering a return of Juninho in advisory roles to the Eagle group (which also includes Botafogo).
Lyon’s idea seems to be to have a strong staff in view of the winter transfer window, which could be decisive in the race to maintain. The club, even if it beat Rennes before the break by signing its first victory of the season, remains last in Ligue 1.
