Lyon Fans Unleash Scathing Banner Criticizing Laurent Blanc

In a recent match, supporters of Lyon football club displayed a banner criticizing former manager Laurent Blanc, who was under consideration to take over the team. The banner compared Blanc’s management style to that of a “bistro”, suggesting it was casual and unprofessional.

Lyon Supporters’ Public Display of Discontent

During Lyon’s match against Lille, a group of fans held up a banner that read, “A bistro for Blanc, not OL”. This was a direct jab at Laurent Blanc, a former manager who was reportedly being considered for the Lyon job. The banner suggested that Blanc’s relaxed and informal style of management was more suited to running a bistro than a professional football club.

Blanc’s Potential Return Sparks Controversy

Laurent Blanc, who last coached at Paris Saint-Germain, has been linked with the Lyon job following the departure of Peter Bosz. However, a segment of Lyon fans does not seem to be in favor of Blanc’s potential return, as evidenced by the scathing message displayed on the banner during the Lille match.

The banner unveiled by Lyon fans reflects the division over Blanc’s potential return. Despite his impressive career, including a stint as manager of Paris Saint-Germain, Blanc’s casual approach may not sit well with the expectations of Lyon’s passionate fanbase. Whether the club’s management will heed the fans’ message remains to be seen.
