At Parc OL,

“A nightmare scenario and great disillusionment. “Rudi Garcia did not minimize the terrible epilogue of the Lyon season, this Sunday after the defeat (2-3) against OGC Nice. Virtually qualified in the Champions League at the break (2-1), due to the draw conceded at the same time by the Monegasques in Lens (0-0), OL (4th) then collapsed, and will not be than in the Europa League at the start of the next school year. A failure in Ligue 1, for the second consecutive season with Rudi Garcia (7th in 2020), which pushed the former Marseille coach to quickly discuss his personal future.

"I wanted to leave the club by leaving it in the Champions League and I really did not expect this scenario," he told a press conference. Relaunched on this departure, clearly in tune with the times since he was at the end of his contract in a month and the club is working to find his successor, Rudi Garcia readily clarified: "We had always said that" we would talk about it after the last day, so yeah of course i won't be there next season. I will see my president tomorrow but it has been a long time since I decided that I could not continue and achieve the best possible results under these conditions. Everything is not in place for me to be at the head of this team next season. "

"I am not a candidate for my own succession"

Just five weeks ago, coach Rudi however indicated publicly: "I think it's a club that suits me well, which is posed, I hope that my future will be here".

This "very long time" therefore seems to be relative, but this outcome is therefore officially irremediable.

"If the president has nothing to offer me tomorrow, we will all agree," continues Rudi Garcia.

And if he has something to offer me, I am not a candidate for my own succession.

"

The person concerned may have recalled for the umpteenth time his place in the final of the League Cup last year and this semi-final of the Champions League "quite exceptional", his record is obviously negative.

Unable to bring OM back to the Champions League, from 2016 to 2019, despite large investments in the transfer market, he then left OL two years in a row.

In an economic context that has become delicate without C1, Jean-Michel Aulas and Juninho should not miss the choice of his successor.
