LILLE - 3 names screened to replace resident boss Galtier

Close to get Lille to win Ligue 1 title, ten seasons after the last one, Christophe Galtier might be heading somewhere else, since many prominent clubs are considering him as a new first-team manager. Meanwhile, to this end, according to La Voix du Nord, Les Dogues top brass are screening three names, upon replacing their current boss, namely Italian-Brazilian one Thiago Motta (previously training PSG junior team and Genoa, in the pic on the left), Laurent Blanc (former France and Girondins de Bordeaux manager), and Lucien Favre (former trainer of Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchenglabach, Hertha Berlin, and OGC Nice).

Training Lille since late December 2017, Galtier, whose ongoing deal is going to expire once current season's over, might however end up extending for Hauts-de-France side anyways.
