The least we can say is that the pill has still not passed... Former sports director of Lyon after having shone there on the pitch, Juninho has still not digested the end of his Lyon adventure in December 2021 The Brazilian returned to the show Rothen ignites on RMC on his tense relationship with Jean-Michel Aulas, against the backdrop of a conflict with then-coach Rudi Garcia.
The former midfielder, seven-time French champion with OL explained that he was not the only one to have refused the arrival of Laurent Blanc on the Rhone bench in October 2019 to replace Sylvinho (it is ultimately Rudi Garcia who was appointed before leaving in May 2021).

“Jean-Michel Aulas knows that it was not me who refused Laurent Blanc alone, he launched.
I think Jean-Michel Aulas was afraid to assume but that doesn't bother me anymore.
We know him, he speaks and that's how it is.
I turn the page.
I was disappointed with many things and maybe him too.
When I turn the page, it's completely.
Forgiveness is a very complicated thing for me when you go too far.
But of course it wasn't me who decided on my own.
If it was me, I'd take it all on.

After having justified why he did not get along with Rudi Garcia, who accused him of protecting the Brazilian players of the group and whose methods he did not like, Juninho returned to the deterioration of his relations with Aulas, who had brought in spring 2019.
"I don't know if I'm saying the word sorry," he continued.
But I think he really went far.
I don't know… But we let the days go by.
He knows he has gone really far.
I feel sorry.
And that doesn't happen.
