The LOSC Lille tactician has seen his team make a woeful start to the 2012/2013 campaign on domestic and European front which means that his future has been subjected to debate
After all teams in Ligue 1 had finished their respective activities in the summer transfer window, many people touted http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marvin-Martin-c24496
and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Salomon-Kalou-c32266, it was expected that Les Dogues would give the cash-laden capital club a run for its money.
However, things have not gone according to plan and the southerners sorely miss the presence of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 FC. The Mastiffs have not been able to hit top gear and apart from an indifferent start to the
Championnat, are on the verge of getting eliminated from the Champions League group stages for the second year running.
In three European outings, the natives of Villeneuve d’Ascq have not been able to register a single win which is indeed a cause for concern for a side that a few months back, was playing some of the best football in the country.
Naturally, after such an abysmal start, people are bound to put some blame on the coach. Rudi Garcia brought in the likes of Kalou, Steeve Elana, Sidibe and Ryan http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mendes-c25206. However, most of these players have not justified their recruitment at all.
According to L’Equipe, the former AS Saint-Etienne coach, who is under contract at the club until June 2014, could be relieved of his duties as the manager of the first-team. And, reports claim that the board might already have selected Garcia’s replacement
in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Francis-c13946 Gillot who is currently coaching FC Girondins de Bordeaux.
The coach’s son is incidentally, a member of Lille’s recruitment cell and seems pretty keen on reuniting with his father.
With his contract ending in June 2013, Gillot might be a more suitable option according to sources in the club. However, the season is too long and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michel-c25453 Seydoux will not make an abrupt decision as he knows that Garcia has done a lot for the club in the
last few years.
Although he is not on borrowed time, Garcia knows that he should turn things around before the rumour mill gathers more speed.
