It was on an acknowledgment of failure, and overwhelmed by great weariness that Juninho left OL and his duties as sports director last December.
This Monday in an interview with Progrès, the president of Les Gones, Jean-Michel Aulas, confesses to having wanted to reconnect several times with the Brazilian icon since his departure. In vain.
” It’s like a child leaving youbelieves the Rhone boss. I did everything, I tried to reconnect, for Christmas, for New Year’s Day, for his birthday (January 30, editor’s note). But he doesn’t answer. »
A sad epilogue for the one who nevertheless left his mark on the Lyon institution, by contributing largely to offer him his seven titles of champion of France between 2002 and 2008.
