He was offered the Monaco job a couple of weeks ago, I suppose that he did not take it as he is being mentioned for our job.Originally Posted by gustavo
He did say after he left Lyon that he wanted to stay in France but was open to offers from other countries.
Looks like Le Guen is settling for Monaco. He coulda been a contender.
Monaco in hunt for Le Guen

Paul Le Guen is set to be installed as Monaco coach if press reports from France are to be believed.
According to the French daily Le parisien dimanche, negotiations between the former Lyon coach and Monaco's directors are heating up.
A contract of three-and-a-half years has been proposed by the Principality club but Le Guen, who led Lyon to three French Ligue 1 titles, has asked for more time to reflect on the deal.
A managers abillity to get the best out of average players, which is all we have, is the most important thing in my eyes, not neceesarily their record of trophies etc if you know what I mean. The thing is though the abscence of a physical presence up front will make it very difficult for allot of managers that have made a career out of getting the best results out of average players because they tend to resort to bread and butter tactics.
I'd be a bit sceptical of the foreign coaches because they're used to dealing with players that allthough pound for pound might not be as good, they generally have more technical abbillity than the majority of our 'Brittish type' squad. I don't envy who ever gets it
