The Athletic<\/a>the technician, thanked by OL at the end of January, confided in his ambitions for the rest of his career. After his first experience as number one in Lyon, the 45 -year -old coach says he is “now ready for a new project”.<\/p>\n“My dream is to work in England”<\/h2>\n
“I want to resume next season, in France or elsewhere in Europe, ideally in the five major championships,” said Pierre Sage. “My dream is to work in England because I think it's the best country and the best championship. The second division (Championship) is also a good championship.”<\/p>\n
Appointed at the end of November 2023 at the head of OL, Pierre Sage had allowed the Gones to avoid relegation, even qualifying them for the Europa League with a sixth place in Ligue 1. “My second post will be the most important. I believe that it is Jos\u00e9 Mourinho who said that one becomes coach when you are fired the first time,” added Pierre Sage. “It was difficult to lose my job, but the most difficult was to leave Lyon because it is my club, my city.”<\/p>\n
Replaced by Paulo Fonseca, Pierre Sage sees in this change “a commercial opportunity” for John Textor. “The name of Paulo Fonseca against that of Pierre Sage gave him more guarantees to find perhaps a new investor, to improve the club in other fields also,” said Sage. “He wanted this coach for a long time and he had the opportunity to have him. But I have a lot of respect for the owner because he gave me a chance.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
