A few weeks after the warning issued, Jean-Michel Aulas decided. The president of Olympique Lyonnais has decided to end the season with his coach Peter Bosz. Confident, the manager feels his team is capable of getting back on the podium in Ligue 1.
OL president Jean-Michel Aulas wants to continue with coach Peter Bosz.
Last January, Jean-Michel Aulas issued a public warning to his coach Peter Bosz.
We can even speak of a stroke of pressure from the president of Olympique Lyonnais, who scheduled a point on the future of the Dutchman at the end of February.
Mixed results for Bosz
The leader had himself mentioned the name of Laurent Blanc, while specifying that a dismissal remained possible before the fixed date. “We said “we continue” until the end of February to see what happens but in my mind, we are not going to put ourselves in danger. We won’t be stupid“, warned JMA.
A few weeks later, Bosz ends this crucial period with rather mixed results. We particularly remember the stunning success against Olympique de Marseille (2-1) and the reference match against Nice (2-0). But the Gones, still irregular, failed to beat Monaco (2-0) or Lille (0-1) on Sunday. This is why OL are still 8 points behind the 3rd place in Ligue 1 occupied by the Gym.
Aulas satisfied and confident
This situation could have put Bosz in great danger. But the president contacted by the chain L’Equipe was satisfied. “Over the last 12 games, we have taken a lot of points so we have come back, not in the standings, but in the number of points which separate us from second and third places, which are our objective, at an interesting level. We had some really good matches.“Said Aulas, before announcing the rise of his team currently ranked 10th.
«We made the bet, and I told my coach this (Monday) morning, to come back. And I can assure you that we will be on the podium at the end of the season and that we will go as far as possible in the European Cup, he promised. Because the team is of quality, the coach too.“The opportunity for him to return to the warning issued to his coach, with more or less credibility. “I never imagined changing him because I think he really has a lot of qualities“, certified the president.
For JMA, “the season is not over»
«It connects players who are exploding with the academy. There are a whole bunch of positives that make me think that the season is not ruined“, continued Aulas, certain that Bosz will end the season on the Rhone bench. “I can tell you that it will be a good choice, he explained. The justification of the choice will be made at the end of the season, I am convinced that we will do something good. The beginning of the year, until yesterday (Sunday) evening, was of high quality.Unless there is a disaster, the technician will no longer be threatened before the end of the exercise.
