• OL missed a great opportunity on Sunday to fully return to the Champions League race, losing to Losc (0-1).

  • After having weakened him two months earlier, during the winter break, Jean-Michel Aulas wanted to defend Peter Bosz's record in an interview published on Tuesday by

    L'Equipe

    .

  • For the president of OL, his coach under contract until 2023 is "not at all in danger".

During the winter break, Peter Bosz had clearly seen himself weakened by his president.

“There's no way Peter won't be here until the end of February.

I leave us the two months of January and February to return to the championship ”, had indeed indicated Jean-Michel Aulas in

L’Equipe

on December 24.

This timing of the end of February has just been reached after Lyon's cruel defeat (0-1) against Losc on Sunday, and JMA returned to take stock in the sports daily on Tuesday.

At Christmas, Olympique Lyonnais was in very bad shape, 13th, nine points from the podium goal.

Two months later, here he is 10th eight lengths from a qualifying place in the Champions League.

If OL have finally shown consistency, with four successes in five games from mid-January to mid-February, they have not yet been able to settle at the top of the rankings.

“I am convinced that this is the good year in the European Cup”

“Before the match against Nice (2-0 on February 12), Peter Bosz was not in danger in our minds, and he still is not, however assures Jean-Michel Aulas.

We are completely reassured about the group, about his relationship with the coach, and about the coach's ability to play his football.

He has restored order to the results, which was necessary, and on the pitch, we feel that he is rediscovering his principles.

After Sunday's game, I think we can have a lot of hope for the future.

“With 12 matches to go, the Lyon president remains “convinced” of being able to match OM for second place, currently at nine points.

We are not that far away, we have already gone back a long way in the past.

And I am convinced that this is the good year in the European Cup.

»

On this point, we could quickly be fixed, with a delicate 8th final of the Europa League to be negotiated on March 9 and 17 against Porto.

Presented in this interview as "the man for the job", Peter Bosz even has a good chance, according to his president, of still being on the Lyon bench in July.

“Peter is not at all in danger, whatever happens, insists JMA.

With Vincent Ponsot and Bruno Cheyrou's teams, we are already working with him on the recruitment of next season, depending on his system of play. " It remains to be seen how the Dutch coach, under contract until 2023 , negotiates this perilous end of the financial year.
