Bosz intent on attacking football with Lyon

The Dutchman explained that discussions with OL were speedy and a deal was sorted within two days. “We talked a lot about how to play, what they wanted from me and what they thought. It all starts with a philosophy,”

Pleasing Lyon’s often cantankerous fanbase is top of Bosz’s agenda, explaining “I want to win and I want the fans to be happy with the style,” he said. “Fans like teams who attack, who score goals, who create chances. When they go home I want them to talk about what they’ve seen, “ah this cross, ah that pass!”

When asked how he would respond to criticism from Jose Mourinho, Bosz mused: “When an offensive coach loses a game or a Championship, it’s easy to say [their style is] not realistic. I don’t care. I know you can be successful with offensive play.”
