OL, your merciless universe. With the arrival of an American owner at its head, the Rhone club offers as many twists and turns as the legendary Dallas series. And it was Gennaro Gattuso who paid the price this time. The volcanic Italian coach thought he had passed the last hurdle by agreeing on financial terms with John Textor.

But the latter was, for once, sensitive to the lukewarmness of OL members regarding this possible appointment. In question, as reported The Team, several factors: the fact that Gattuso is in the Jorge Mendes stable, past experiences not all successful and a tendency to only make short stints on the sidelines. Add to that his tempestuous character and you understand that Gattuso already scared some people.

Faced with this list of arguments, Textor therefore decided to calm things down. More news for Gattuso, who was only waiting for the final validation and who must have been angry… Fabio Grosso, for his part, had the support of the Lyon decision-makers. Already because they had gotten to know him during his time at the club between 2007 and 2009. A successful time on a human level, since the Italian left a pleasant memory for his partners and managers.

Finally, his recent experience at Frosinone proved that Grosso had talent to spare on the bench. With a very young squad, he won Serie B with Frosinone, finishing with the best defense and attack. He will not be able to have such success immediately with Olympique Lyonnais, but he will not be disoriented against a squad lacking experience.
