The Boss comes good

Former France and Liverpool coach Gerard Houllier is sure his Lyon team have secured their fifth straight French league title. Lyon are 14 points clear of Bordeaux with both having five games left. Houllier told the press today ‘with 15 points to be distributed, it’s won’, and you wouldn’t argue with him.

Houllier has got Lyon playing well in Ligue 1 with only 2 defeats in 33 games and easily the best goal difference in France.

It’s kind of a shame it never really worked out for him in his two big jobs , managing France and Liverpool. Houllier comes over as a nice guy and in the right environment you can see him doing well.
