Goal.com Italy had an exclusive chat with the agent of Paul Le Guen, the man who is being indicated as very close to taking over the Lazio coaching job.
”There is a 99% chance that Le Guen joins Lazio, but that 1% is left. Like when as kids, we used to say that it was almost done with a girl,” Frederic Guerra told Goal.com’s Alberto Masu.
“He wants guarantees on the budget he has at his disposal to make the new team. Its clear he would never accept the Lazio job to fight to avoid relegation,” he added.
Guerra also confirmed that the coach that won three consecutive titles with Lyon is wanted by a flurry of other teams in Europe.
“He said no to Benfica, but has many other offers: from Germany, to England, to Greece, to Turkey. But the Italian league has a particular fascination to it, that could make him prefer Lazio over the other options,” he said.

This would be great news for Lazio and Serie A if Le Guen indeed moves to Rome, but again the "if" has to deal with their ability, or inability, to make signings with their fairly limited budget. And as his agent says, the "99% done with a girl" only to not get her is fairly common in reality. :frown:
