Alain Perrin's days as Lyon coach look numbered after club president Jean-Michel Aulas admitted on Monday that the trend was not to keep him as coach for next season.
Perrin led Lyon to their seventh consecutive league title and the French Cup this season for their first ever domestic double.
But asked whether Perrin would be Lyon coach next season, Aulas said: “We're in a phase of delicate change and the trend is not really in that sense.”
Lyon bosses have said they are looking for a coach with an enlarged mission aimed at helping the team progess in the Champions League. The multiple French champions have never made the semis in Europe's elite competition.
