Cheyrou played 48 times for Liverpool.
Ex Liverpool midfielder Bruno Cheyrou is set to become the sporting director of Lyon, according to a report from RMC Sport.
Cheyrou played 48 times for Liverpool scoring 5 goals.
Cheyrou joined the staff at Lyon in 2020 but he is now set for a promotion. Liverpool legend Gerard Houllier was Lyon’s football advisor at the time before his passing in December 2020.
Indeed it was Houllier who signed Cheyrou to Liverpool, the 44-year-old was once dubbed ‘the new Zidane’.
It was a a harsh decision on the away side.
This news is not likely to decrease any frustrations surrounding VAR at the moment.
Both players have had setbacks in their recoveries from long-term injuries.
The 23-year-old has been linked to several Premier League clubs since last summer.
