Reports suggest that French club Lyon is considering the possibility of hiring former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard as their new head coach after the dismissal of Laurent Blanc. It has been revealed that Lampard is in talks with Lyon regarding the vacant managerial position, as reported by 90min. This development comes shortly after Blanc’s departure from the role.
Lampard, renowned for his illustrious playing career at Chelsea and a brief managerial stint at the club, has emerged as a leading candidate to assume control at Lyon.
In a broader context, Lyon took the decision to part ways with Blanc after his 11-month tenure as head coach due to a lackluster start to the season. The French side has yet to secure a victory in their first four games and recently suffered a 4-1 defeat to their rivals PSG. Blanc, the former France national team manager, guided the team to a seventh-place finish in the previous season.
