Bruno Génésio wants to be the Arsène Wenger of Lyon

Interim Lyon manager Bruno Génésio admitted tonight on BeIN Sports‘s Tribune Sports that he hopes to replicate Arsène Wenger’s Arsenal success with Les Gones.

“I would like to have an Arsène Wenger type of career at Lyon, that is for certain, to stay for 20 or 25 years at this club. It is the club that I love, the club the made me, the club where I grew up. I was born very near to the Gerland. I am aware of the uncertainty of the job. I think there are 13 managers who have not finished the Ligue 1 season… So obviously, I would like to have my entire career at Lyon, but it is the events that will decide all that.”

Alexandre Lacazette is taking English lessons & his girlfriend has stopped looking for work in Lyon…

According to our colleagues at Goal France, Lyon striker Alexandre Lacazette is closer than ever to the departure door this summer.

They report that the player has been taking intensive English lessons in recent weeks and that his girlfriend has all of a sudden stopped looking for a job in the Lyon area, possibly suggesting that the player is headed away from Lyon this summer, specifically to England and the Premier League.

L’Équipe reported this morning that Manchester United are regularly surveilling Lacazette’s performances and he remains on a list of potential summer targets for the Red Devils, but that West Ham United, Atletico Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur are the three sides in pole position at the moment for the French international.

It is understood that several offers have been made for the player by some or all of those three clubs since the January transfer window…

René Girard offered two year Nantes deal

FC Nantes are understood to have drawn out the contours of a two year contract for René Girard as they search for a manager to replace Michel der Zakarian next season.

They initially approached Lens boss Antoine Kombouaré, only to be rebuffed by the Frenchman who is hoping to experience management abroad.

Jocelyn Gourvennec and Philippe Montanier are also individuals to have been contacted, but after meeting with Girard last week, Nantes appear to be pressing on for the former Montpellier manager.

While Les Canaris have not officially presented him with a binding offer, they are optimistic that Girard will respond favourably to their latest overtures.

The ball is in Girard’s camp, unless Nantes can strum up a better alternative between now and then.
