Lyon boss Houllier "would love" Newcastle job
tribalfooball.com - May 09, 2007
Olympique Lyon boss Gerard Houllier is keen on the Newcastle United
job.
A source close to the 59-year-old Houllier told the Evening
Chronicle: "Obviously Gerard has had heard about Sam Allardyce, but
he would still love to be manager of Newcastle United.
"He has a release clause in his contract - and he would be on the
next plane to Newcastle because he feels that he has unfinished
business in the Premiership."
Houllier was one of several continental
managers, including the likes of Claudio Ranieri and Roberto
Mancini, who wanted the United job 12 months ago when Freddy
Shepherd decided to give it to Glenn Roeder after the former
skipper had taken the club into Europe.
