Olympique Lyonnais' legacy has taken two major blows in recent days. While the people of the Rhône-Alpes region are still mourning the passing of Bernard Lacombe, OL fans also learned on Tuesday evening that their team had been relegated to Ligue 2 by decision of the DNCG . A dark period for the Lyonnais. Some of them will, however, be able to pay their respects this Wednesday afternoon, for a final farewell to one of the greatest figures in the club's history, reports Le Progrès .
Bernard Lacombe's funeral will take place this afternoon at 2:30 p.m. at the Saint-Louis church in Fontaines-sur-Saône. A large crowd is expected, and the building's 400 seats will almost certainly not be enough to accommodate everyone. Many people are expected to attend, led by Jean-Michel Aulas, but also former players, club coaches, and other members of the public. An audio broadcast will take place outside the venue for those unable to enter. Note that Michael Gerlinger, Mathieu Louis-Jean, and Jean Sudres will represent the current OL management.
