LOSC Mercato: The future looks dark for Olivier Létangwho could be removed from his position as president of the Lille club.
LOSC Mercato: The future of Olivier Létang threatened in Lille
The crisis hits LOSC. Despite a fine European run which ended at the stage of the knockout stages of the Champions League, the club trained by Jocelyn Gourvennec fell back into his ways in the league. The Lille club finished in 10th place in Ligue 1 and will not play in any European competition next season. A worrying sporting record for the coach Jocelyn Gourvennecbut which could also have repercussions on the future of Olivier Létang.
Between his tense speeches with the former club coach Christophe Galtier and the failed recruitment of Hatem Ben Arfa through the long suspension of Sylvain Armand, the president of LOSC is increasingly singled out for his authoritarian management. According to information released by Foot Marketa recent audit carried out within the club confirms “the tendency of a Létang problem”. This audit thus weakens a little more the situation of Olivier Létang at LOSC. Especially since the company Merlyn Partners, current owner of the club, plans major changes at the Mastiffs and does not rule out a departure from Olivier Létang. The source even specifies that “his position is hanging by a thread”. The 49-year-old could be removed from his role as Lille president in the coming days.
LOSC Mercato: Jocelyn Gourvennec maintained in his post
In addition, the source explains that Jocelyn Gourvennec, despite a mixed sporting record this season, still benefits from the support of his team. Thus, the Lille coach should be kept in his post for the coming season. But this is not the case for the president of LOSC, Olivier Létang, who seems increasingly isolated. His departure from the club could even take place in the days to come.
