Coupet admitted to OLTV: "We're talking about an extension of a few years followed by a change of role, notably that of coaching the young goalkeepers.



"However, I have to consider my family in my thinking about this negotiation.



"If I do have to leave Lyon it would be to go abroad, to the USA or England so that my children can practise English.



"The future composition of the technical staff and whether or not Joel Bats stays on as goalkeeper coach are important factors to consider."
