L’Équipe and RMC Sport report that Lille have decided to appoint Jocelyn Gourvennec as their new manager following the departure of Christophe Galtier to OGC Nice.

The news comes as a major shock, after LOSC missed out on Patrick Vieira who preferred to join Crystal Palace and were then in advanced negotiations with Claudio Ranieri last week.

A deal is being negotiated between the two parties after 48 hours of positive discussions – should talks conclude in the right direction, Gourvennec will sign a 2-year contract with LOSC and return to management for the first time since May 2019, when he was responsible for EA Guingamp’s relegation to Ligue 2.

Gourvennec managed Guingamp in a short Europa League campaign, but his move to Lille will allow for him to taste Champions’ League football for the first time.
