Juninho’s enigmatic return message

Jean-Michel Aulas now gone, the president of Olympique Lyonnais is now John Textor, who will assume this role on an interim basis. While waiting to find a new general manager, the priority is to bring in a sports director, as confirmed by the American to the press. “We are going forward. We talk very actively. We will have a lot of conversations, it will be everywhere in the organization. We will add people and not remove them. We haven’t made a decision yet.”. Tipped for this position, Juninho was the guest of RMCthis Friday, and raised the possibility of returning to OL.

“I am in Lyon at the moment, because I have a daughter who lives in Lyon. I never met John Textor, neither in Rio nor in Lyon. People also ask me the same question when I’m in Lyon. There is nothing at all. Knowing that he’s been the owner for a few months, it’s a surprise for me too. I am there, but I have never spoken with him, neither by phone, nor by message, nor personally. It’s not my priority to come back. But I can’t say no 100%, because our life is football. I still want to work. The three years I was at OL were tough. I don’t know if I will have the means to do what I think. But the door is open. If Textor wants to talk to me, there’s no problem.”. The door is open.
