Three days before the end of the championship, Lille, tenth, is in the soft underbelly of the classification and has nothing more to play for.
Apart from the European parenthesis with an honorable round of 16 in the Champions League, the season of Lille never really took off. Quickly dropped in the race for the podium, LOSC still thought of fighting at least for the Europa League Conference until the end of the season. This will not be the case insofar as the Mastiffs are far too far behind Strasbourg, Nice, Lyon, Lens and the other competitors in the top 5. Chosen by Olivier Létang to succeed Christophe Galtier, coach Jocelyn Gourvennec n did not fully meet expectations. Consequently, he finds himself threatened at the end of his first season in the North according to information from insider Mohamed Toubache-Ter.
Jocelyn Gourvennec very threatened in Lille
“Jocelyn Gourvennec is in the hot seat” the insider announced on Twitter before continuing. “Not at all sure to see the current Lille coach on the bench next season… the reflection is in progress” he published, very much doubting the presence of Jocelyn Gourvennec in Lille next season. The decision will inevitably be difficult to make for Olivier Létang as well as for the leaders of LOSC, who knew that this post-championship season would be difficult, regardless of the coach. But internally in Lille, it is estimated that Jocelyn Gourvennec should have done better given the workforce that was available. It must be said that LOSC made great efforts to maintain a coherent team last summer, despite the many requests for recently titled players such as Sven Botman, Renato Sanches or Jonathan David and Burak Yilmaz. Despite the management’s efforts, Lille has had a far too disappointing season and it is therefore Jocelyn Gourvennec who could pay a high price for it this summer.
