Marcelo Bielsa is an Argentinean manager who in the last 10 years has set the footballing world alight, although you might not have realised it yet. The club has since been taken over by the former assistant manager of Bielsa until the end of the current season, Franck Passi, until El Loco takes the reigns. Long term coach Patrick Collot took over the struggling club for several months, before being relieved of his duties in February.
The club currently sit 14th in the league after 10 wins, 7 draws and 16 losses, 5 positions higher than when Antonetti was sacked. The club had become a French Champions League regular in the mid-2000s, and earned themselves some remarkable results that decade beating Manchester United 1-0 in 2005, A.C. This could soon change however with the managerial appointment of Marcelo Bielsa. Competing with the likes of Paris Saint Germain, AS Monaco, Lyon, Marseille and OGC Nice they have found themselves falling down the pecking order in recent years. Lille Olympique Sporting Club is a football club in the top flight of French football.
