Sidney Govou Set for Return to Lyon in Coaching Role?
A return to his roots may be on the cards for Sidney Govou. According to Lyon Capitale, the former Olympique Lyonnais winger could soon rejoin the club—not on the pitch, but on the sidelines.
The Franco-Beninese international, currently working toward his coaching diploma, is reportedly being considered by OL’s management to take charge of the U14 team.
Govou, who spent the bulk of his career at Lyon and was a fan favorite during the club’s golden era, would be making a symbolic homecoming. If confirmed, this move would mark another step in OL’s tradition of integrating former players into its youth development structure.
