Lyon Secure Domestic Double
10th April 2015 – Lyon secure the
Ligue 1 title for the 3rd year in a row, this time winning it with several games left to play. It seemed no team could keep pace with us as we embarked on a remarkable unbeaten run in the league, producing performances of the highest quality. I am unbelievably proud of the boys we have. We have had the youngest average age in the league for three years running and each year we have won the title. Who says you can’t win with kids?!
18th April 2015 – Lyon win the
Coupe de la Ligue. It was always in our grasp and for the 2nd year running we played Saint-Etienne in the final and in both finals we scored 4 goals. The scoring power in this team is remarkable and I can see us dominating the cup competitions in France for years to come if we carry on at this rate.
The next trophy on the agenda is the Champions League. We currently hold a 1-0 lead over Porto heading in to the 2nd leg. The other semi-final has been concluded, with Liverpool edging past Bayern Munich. This opens up a great possibility for Lyon, as I believe Bayern may have been too strong for us, with players such as Falcao and Kroos. With matters all clear on the domestic front, European glory is within our grasp and there is nothing more that would vindicate my ability as manager than to bring home the coveted Champions League trophy for the fans, friends and families of Olympique Lyonnais with perhaps the youngest ever team to play in a Final.
