Hooray for Lille!
Thank you Lille, you make me believe in football again.
Good job by Monaco too, sneaking into CL.
Interesting to see what Botman is like without him, suppose Botman has learnt from him.
Anyhow this is an amazing achievement and if I’m honest is the very reason the ESL as it was set up should never even been given the time of day.
PSG
Can’t win a one-horse race
Definitely one to watch. It’s no small feat to beat the heavyweights in this league with a club on something like a shoestring budget. I’m looking forward to see how he does at Nice, but am a bit stunned that he didn’t get offers from bigger clubs.
As for Lille, it’s well deserved, and everything going against those Quatari-Parisian ©°~†ß is welcome for me!
This is rather surprising. He has done well with Lille in the previous seasons too, so this was no fluke and he is genuinely a good manager. How come clubs like Dortmund, Leipzig, Spurs, Roma, etc. didn’t approach him?
Yeah Nice seems an odd choice, said it was still up in the air last night
Christophe Galtier
Nice isn’t that odd, more security, better plan sportif, greater security and perhaps Galtier is looking to get closer to his roots.
He knows that Lille have some very difficult and hard choices to make this summer and Nice don’t, I’m not sure he’ll get all the promises Nice have made but the future looks a lot brighter there.
I hate Nice horrible place allez L’OM.
Have Lille hired anyone yet?
No but some more names, Rudi Garcia and Fatih Terim anyones guess. I think they are having trouble finding someone. They need to off load players and won’t be able to bring in any names so I don’t think it’s attractive enough for the likes of Garcia. The Turkish press apparently think this Fatih Terim is close and I think that’s pretty likely concidering the circumstances.
Ligue 1: French top tier reduced to 18 teams from 2023/24 season
Ligue 1 to be reduced to 18 clubs from the 2023/24 season; the French top tier had been expanded to 20 teams in 2002/03 season; the change means four teams will be relegated from Ligue 1 in 2022/23 with two promoted from Ligue 2
Stay away from England, Kylian.

Antoine Griezmann might be a good coach in the football mind

As if there wasn’t already enough reasons to hate PSG, they go and do this
LOSC have a new manager Jocelyn Gourvennec!
[Jocelyn Gourvennec nommé entraîneur de Lille - L'Équipe]
Is he good??? Where was he before?
No idea he was at Guimgamp before (Brittany not a bad little club but I haven’t heard anything about them for a while).
