Under John Textor’s leadership, Olympique Lyonnais (OL) could win its first title with a team led by Eagle Football. OL’s reserve qualified for the Premier League International Cup (PLIC) final and will face Nottingham Forest on May 7 at the City Ground, with a kick-off scheduled at 8 p.m. and a broadcast on OL Play.

The boss of Eagle Football is very attached to the academy and young talent, which could be an additional source of motivation for players. The reserve coach, Pierre Chavrondier or Gueïda Fofana, should be soon known, after the latter’s acting short in the game against Molenbeek.

The Gones have about ten days to prepare this big deadline, after having suffered a 2-0 setback at the leader and champion Limonest on Saturday. Romain Perret’s partners are now completely turned towards this final.

The end of the season will be a rhythm for the Pro 2 group, with the goal of a podium that is still up to date and this important match to come. Although the Rhodeans have recently suffered two setbacks in National 3, their course in this tournament is almost immaculate, having eliminated Valencia (0-3) and Fulham (0-2). They won’t have much to lose in the middleland formation.
