Former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is in contact with Lyon.
L'Equipe says Wenger could return to the beautiful game this summer with Bruno Genesio set to leave.
Lyon had been set to hand the boss a lucrative new contract after a successful three-and-a-half years at the club.
But the giants were dumped out of the French Cup in the semi-finals by Rennes before losing their next two Ligue 1 matches against strugglers Dijon and Nantes.
And Lyon now look set to move for Wenger, who has been out of work ever since leaving Arsenal last summer.
