Lyon wants Graham Potter to replace Laurent Blanc. However, according to reliable sources, the Englishman rejects the French club.
According to L’Équipe, Lyon is looking for a new coach and Thiago Motta (Bologna) or Will Still (Reims) can replace Laurent Blanc.
Last night the French publication reported that Lyon owner John Textor met with Graham Potter to discuss the coaching position.
According to The Athletic, Potter is favored by Lyon but has refused to replace Blanc.
The 48-year-old was first attracted by the chance to manage a prestigious French club. According to the reports, Potter ultimately decided that it was not the right time to take back the coaching bench.
Potter, who was sacked by Chelsea in April, is still weighing his options. He previously coached Swansea City, Brighton and Ostersunds FK.
Lyon is the lowest in Ligue 1 with only one point after four games.
