Graham Porter, the former coach of Chelsea and Brighton, has officially been approached by Ligue 1 club Lyon for their coaching position. However, as confirmed by The Athletic, Porter has declined the offer.
The 47-year-old Englishman parted ways with Chelsea in April of the previous year, and he has since been weighing his options for his next coaching role. Despite the interest from Lyon, Porter has chosen to patiently wait for an opportunity that aligns with his aspirations.
Porter’s ambition lies in taking charge of a club with a rich history and tradition, indicating his desire for a role that offers a significant challenge and potential for success.
Lyon, having suffered a 1-4 defeat at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain in their last Ligue 1 match before the international break, find themselves in a challenging position with just one point from their first four games. While Porter has declined Lyon’s offer, it remains to be seen where his coaching journey will take him next in the world of football.
