With the departure of Bordeaux coach Jean-Louis Gasset immanent, new FCGB owner Gérard López has begun the search for a new manager.

L’Équipe report that a shortlist of four names has been drawn up; Lucien Favre, who performed wonders with OGC Nice and made them fleeting title contenders in France before leaving for Dortmund; David Guion, who returned Reims to both Ligue 1 and European football in three seasons; Vladimir Petkovic, who masterminded Switzerland’s superb run to the EURO 2020 quarter-finals while beating France in the process; and Joao Sacramento, recent assistant to Jose Mourinho at Tottenham.
