Pressure Mounts for Fabio Grosso as New Coach of Olympique Lyonnais

Having barely arrived at the head of OL, Fabio Grosso is already facing pressure. This journalist is not sure that he is the right man for OL.

It’s difficult to be the coach of Olympique Lyonnais. And Fabio Grosso took it the hard way. Having just been inducted as the new coach of the six-time French champion club, Fabio Grosso is already facing a barrage of criticism. The Italian technician is not the man for the job according to several observers, in this case Pierre Ménès.

Grosso arrives in Lyon

This Monday, a smiling Fabio Grosso was officially presented as the new boss of OL by John Textor. The former Italian international, who notably played for Lyon (2007-2009), takes over from Laurent Blanc and has signed a 2-year contract with the Olympian club. In his speech, he immediately showed his ambitions at the head of the Rhone club. The 2006 world champion notably declared that he wanted to restore confidence in his players in order to produce an attractive game that corresponds to the DNA of the club.

But Pierre Ménès is not sure that Fabio Grosso fears that Grosso is not the man for the job at OL as the squad is simply not up to par. The journalist who still cannot digest the dismissal of Laurent Blanc also believes that the Italian coach’s CV is no match for the real demands of Olympique de Lyonnais.

Pierre Ménès tackles Grosso

“I have the impression that for Lyon supporters, everything that wasn’t Laurent Blanc was great. OK, Grosso had a very good last season in Serie B with Frosinone. But before, it wasn’t brilliant either. This Lyon team is in such a state of disrepair that I think it will be complicated for him. ” did he declare.

Words which illustrate the heaviness of the task entrusted to Fabio Grosso. As a reminder, the Italian has already coached Frosinone in Serie B and FC Sion in the Swiss Super League.
