Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas hints retirement in 5 years time: “75 is a good age to leave…”

Speaking in an interview with Le Figaro, Lyon President Jean-Michel Aulas discussed his own future.

“I have more than 2,000 matches under my belt, I would like to not be speaking about the next 10 years, but in the next 5 years (for retirement). I have said it, it makes me smile, but in five years I hope that we will have won a European trophy. I do not want to give up before having won the Champions’ League. We have won a few with the women (5 Champions’ Leagues) and the the grail would be to win them both at the same time, for the men and the women… I am preparing the future…. 75, is a good age to leave.”

JMA is 70 in March.
