On November 17, Juninho signed a sensational media outing to almost record his departure from OL at the end of the season.
The Lyon sports director pointed to "enormous mental fatigue" to justify this announcement which surprised many internally.
While the club vegetates in Ligue 1 in 12th place,
L'Equipe
indicates this Wednesday that Juninho could leave Lyon as early as January.
This year, Lyon supporters are almost entitled to an Advent calendar in the version of
The Nightmare Before Christmas
. After having discovered in the first box a cataclysmic defeat in extra time against Reims (1-2), then a barely less disastrous draw in Bordeaux (2-2) on December 5, followed by the announcement of the serious Jason Denayer injury on the 6th, they were damn spoiled when they woke up on Wednesday. In this historically celebrated December 8 in Lyon,
L'Equipe
indeed announces that Juninho could leave his post of sporting director as early as next month.
On this subject, OL, which languishes in 12th place in Ligue 1, did not wait until December to go into a spin.
From November 17, 10 days after a rout in Rennes (4-1), "Juni" had offered an unexpected media outlet on RMC Sport, to almost record his departure at the end of the season.
“There is enormous mental fatigue and I do not want to exceed the limit, then explained the Brazilian.
It's not a threat, we are adults, I like the club, I have a lot of respect for the president and for the institution.
Normally it's over at the end of the season.
I want to rest a little.
"
A gloomy December 8 which will end before the disciplinary committee
According to
L'Equipe
, Juninho had not warned anyone internally before this public announcement, which was obviously frowned upon.
The sports daily therefore indicates that the former emblematic captain of OL, still very popular with supporters, could announce his departure in January, no longer being associated with the major sporting decisions of the club since this interview.
Moreover, the ration of the Advent calendar promises to double this Wednesday since OL could languish in games behind closed doors (or even worse) against the disciplinary committee of the LFP.
It will judge its responsibilities in the interruption of the famous fiasco against OM, after the bottle throw that affected Dimitri Payet.
