LOSC has just officially announced its departure this Thursday evening, June 16. A separation agreement has been reached between Jocelyn Gourvennec and the club. The discussion has been underway between the two parties for several days.
Jocelyn Gourvennec was initially on contract until 2023. But this decision seemed inevitable for some time. Lille come out of a disappointing season with a 10th place and Jocelyn Gourvennec has never managed to convince since his arrival on the bench the day after the title of champion of France. He was heavily criticized throughout the season and even more at the end. The supporters did not fail to make known their desire to see him leave LOSC.
Paulo Fonseca, the new coach?
According to the L’Equipe website, a two-year offer has been made to Paulo Fonseca, the former Portuguese coach of AS Roma, Chakhtior Donetsk and Porto. The resumption of training for LOSC players and the new coach is this first of July at the Luchin estate.
