Breaking: Former Saints Coach gets offer from China

Coach Claude Puel has an offer from China, according to Le10Sport.

The former Southampton manager was sacked last season after his side failed to really make an impression at Saint Mary’s, his side playing unenthusiastic football as they came eighth, a whole fifteen points short of seventh-place Everton.

Though the team’s identity is as yet unknown, Puel wouldn’t be the first French Coach to travel to the other side of the planet.

Puel did earn some credit for helping a number of Southampton players fit in, as well as taking the Solent side to the League Cup final, where they lost a close game 3-2 to Manchester United.

The ex-Lyon and Nice Coach is best remembered for taking Le Gym to fourth place in Ligue 1 two seasons ago.

The idea is that this Chinese Super League club wants him to join as soon as possible, so that he can prepare the new season, which begins early next year.
