Juventus Coach Didier Deschamps is a target for French champions Lyon, according to the latest reports in France.
The Frenchman has come under fire despite the Bianconeri’s seven-point lead over Napoli and their imminent return to the top flight.
Reports in France claim that Lyon President Jean Michel Aulas has included Deschamps’ name on his wish list as he prepares to rebuild the team over the summer
Current tactician Gerard Houllier is widely expected to step down after winning Lyon’s sixth consecutive Ligue 1 title, with offers from around Europe and Australia awaiting him.
Aulas might therefore be forced to look for a replacement and considers Deschamps an excellent alternative following his successful four-season spell at Monaco.
“The situation in Turin is far from being ideal, since Didier is not on good terms with sporting director Alessio Secco and his staff is struggling to adapt to life in town,” claimed France Football.
“Deschamps is the first name on Aulas’ list, mainly because he could convince many key players to stay in Lyon as well as attract important new signings, first of all David Trezeguet,” adds the magazine.
World Cup winner Marcello Lippi was paired with a sensational return to Juve’s bench, but the Viareggino denied that he was set to start a new job with the Bianconeri.
“I will not answer these kinds of questions. Juventus have a Coach who is doing very well,” declared the ex-Azzurri tactician
