Lyon Keen On Queiroz
-
Olympique Lyonnais have revealed their interest in appointing Manchester United assistant Carlos Queiroz as their new manager.
Current Lyon boss Alain Perrin will get the sack despite leading the club to their seventh consecutive Ligue 1 crown and their first Coupe de France since 1973.
And OL president Jean-Michel Aulas has identified Queiroz as a realistic candidate for the job at Stade Gerland, hinting that he has a hot tip regarding the Portuguese coach’s availability.
"I had thought of him, but it did seem difficult to me," Aulas said in News of the World. "Now, following confidential information I have received, everything is conceivable."
Aulas and co have been impressed by Queiroz’s contributions at United, who knocked Les Gones out of last season’s Champions League on the way to winning the competition.
Sir Alex Ferguson, who announced recently that he would retire within the next three years, has hinted that his Mozambique-born assistant should be heading the pack to succeed him at Old Trafford.
Queiroz has left the Red Devils once before when he took the reins at Real Madrid in 2004, returning to Manchester just a season later after enduring a torrid time at the Bernabeu.
The former South Africa coach is reportedly keen to establish himself as a top-flight manager, and Lyon are prepared to grant the 55-year-old the opportunity to stake his claim. -
