Just before the big match against Marseille and to everyone’s surprise, Juninho half-word announced at RMC’s microphone that he would quit his post as sports director of Olympique Lyonnais at the end of the season.

“I said my cycle would last three seasons to see what I’m capable of doing, I know I got this opportunity because I’m a former player who has been successful here, I have no problem to assume that. At the end of the season, I’ll think carefully, we’ll see. I hope to finish the season well and, at the end of the season, normally it’s over. “

An announcement which had caused a strong shock wave inside the club which had absolutely not foreseen the media exit of the former legend of the OL.

Since then, Jean-Michel Aulas has played the service and also had to manage the famous episode of the bottle throwing on Dimitri Payet during OL-OM and the resulting sanctions.

However, the president of OL and Vincent Ponsot, the director of football, are already active behind the scenes and the names of Florian Maurice (Rennes and former OL) and Loïc Désiré, the head of the of Strasbourg recruitment, were mentioned. But a new one and not the least has just arisen, namely a certain Luis Campos.

The former transfer guru of AS Monaco and LOSC, free since leaving the northern club in 2020, has still not returned to service. His name has obviously been mentioned on the side of Real Madrid, in Tottenham or more recently in Newcastle but without going any further for the moment. If he is currently enjoying his family, watching a lot of matches and maintaining his network, his urge to take on a new project is seriously starting to itch.
