INFO EUROPE 1
Without a club since his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, where he served as sports director of the training center until 2018, Luis Fernandez could rebound in a Spanish club. This is in any case the information he delivered to Lionel Rosso in the show Face aux Auditeurs, broadcast Sunday night on Europe 1.

"After ten months with young people, I want to go back, to bring something, to help," said one who has already coached three different clubs in Spain: Athletic Bilbao (1996-2000 ) that he led in the Champions League, the Spaniard Barcelona (2003-2004), which he miraculously saved, and the Betis Sevilla (2006-2007) where he suffered his first dismissal during the season. The one who is now consultant for BeIN SPORTS adds: "Be behind the pickups is good, but my DNA is football, the field".

60 years old, Luis Fernandez has also found inspiration in Ligue 1, and more precisely in Nantes, where two coaches in his 60s have just succeeded. "Vahid Halilhodzic is 67 years old, Christian Gourcuff is 64. I can still continue for four or five years," he says. But if he wants to "return to the edge of a field also to train", it is in another position that we should find Luis Fernandez: that of "sports coordinator or adviser." And this, "this season," he hopes.
The name of the club, it has not leaked. It will be "in La Liga", "in a good Spanish club", just agreed to clarify Luis Fernandez, who discards all the same two tracks in a smile: "it will be neither Real Madrid nor FC Barcelona". So which club? Answer "in about ten days".
