Are the days of Peter Bosz at the head of the Lyon team numbered?
A priori not in the short term.
But the question may reasonably arise.
Last Sunday, OL lost on their lawn at Groupama Stadium against PSG (0-1).
A third defeat for Les Gones after Lorient (3-1) and Monaco (2-1) which further weakens the Dutch technician.
However, Jean-Michel Aulas, the president, decides for the moment not to change anything.
“We are not going to question everything, even if it is unbearable to lose, he explains in L'Equipe.
But aren't we taking an additional risk by changing coaches when it's the 8th day, when we have 13 points being 6th?
It's not reasonable, but to say that we haven't thought about it, no.
We will be careful.
The answer to the question is that we put the coach and all the staff in the best conditions to succeed.
And if we are 8th at the end of the season, I would have resigned before.

Nobody knows yet if Peter Bosz will spend the winter in Lyon.
The management should take stock at the time of the truce imposed by the World Cup, after the 15th day.
The calendar awaiting his group is less favorable, with upcoming confrontations against Lens, Toulouse, Rennes, Montpellier, Lille, Marseille, and Nice.
"If you change coach before going to Lens, Rennes, Nice, you put the one who arrives in a situation... Whereas if you are convinced that you have the right coach, he will not let you go on these matches there, he will win them and I prefer to be in my place than in that of Lens, Rennes and Nice even if he (Nice) changes coach... Of course, there can be fear but we will get there and it is not the coach who is responsible.

Still, popular opinion can also weigh.
Especially if it is the person concerned: “Critics on social networks?
Of course it annoys me but I think those who say I'm overwhelmed are more than me.
This is the advantage when you have 35 years of experience and 60 titles on the clock.
That said, if I had to change position with Vincent (Ponsot, OL football director) and Bruno (Cheyrou, head of the recruitment unit), I would do it, but today I am convinced that it is not not the right solution to change.
” Now instructs Peter Bosz and his staff to prove him right during the next meetings.
Starting with the difficult trip to Lens on Sunday.
