Lille removed coach Jocelyn Gourvennec on Thursday after a disappointing season in which the 2020-21 Ligue 1 champion finished in tenth position on the table.
Gourvennec, 50, is in office just a year after replacing Christophe Galtier, who joined Nice and is now wanted by PSG.
The only trophy Gourvennec won with Lille was the French Super Cup when they beat PSG 1-0. His team was eliminated in the second round of the Champions League against Chelsea and failed to qualify for any European competition for the coming season.

“Lille would like to sincerely thank Jocelyn Gourvennec for her cooperation, her commitment and her professionalism throughout this season of 2021-2022,” Lille said in an official statement.
According to L’Équipe, Gourvennec’s successor could be the Portuguese Paulo Fonseca.
