A death in French football.
In fact, at the age of 73, Gerard Houllier, former coach of Paris Saint-Germain and Lyon, with whom he won the Ligue 1 twice, died. The announcement was made by L'Equipe and subsequently by RMC, so it was confirmed by Lens and a source close to Paris Saint-Germain.
Former coach of the French national team, Houllier had just had an aorta surgery.
At the end of last week he left a message stating that he was having a hard time, but that he was confident of a speedy recovery.
Houllier had suffered from heart problems for many years.
His name is mainly linked to the English of Liverpool, the team at the helm of which he won - between 2000 and 2001 - a Uefa Cup, an FA Cup, an English League Cup, a Charity Shield and a European Super Cup.
