Former Liverpool & France Manager Gérard Houllier Dies Aged 73

Premier League champions Liverpool said they were "deeply saddened" by the loss of treble-winning manager, Gerard Houllier after his death was announced on Monday.

Houllier led Liverpool to a treble in 2000/01, with Gerrard captaining the side to the League Cup, FA Cup and UEFA Cup.

"The thoughts of everyone at Liverpool Football Club are with Gerard's family and many friends", the club said in a statement.

"Absolutely devastated and heartbroken at the sad news of the passing of Gerard", Thompson wrote.

RMC sport and sports daily L'Équipe said he had died aged 73 after having a heart operation in Paris. "Our thoughts are with his family and the whole of French football in these hard times".

A fan favourite at Anfield, Houllier suffered a life-threatening vascular problem during a Premier League match against Leeds in 2001.

French President Emmanuel Macron also paid tribute to Houllier, along with many current and former Liverpool players.

A former amateur player turned English teacher, Houllier started his coaching career with second-division French team Noeux-les-Mines before joining Lens.

Chinese Vaccine 86% Effective, UAE Health Ministry Says
The CNBG vaccine was made using an inactivated version of the coronavirus to prime human immune systems to fight it. The UAE, with a population of around 9 million, has recorded 178,837 infections and 596 deaths from the disease.

In 1985, Houllier was appointed PSG boss and led them to the top-flight title in the 1985-86 season.

However, he resigned in November 1993 after France failed to qualify for the 1994 FIFA World Cup finals.

Prior to his arrival at Anfield he managed the likes of Paris Saint-Germain and the French national team, and following his departure in 2006 he had spells at Lyon and Aston Villa.

After working with France's Under-18 and Under-20 teams, Houllier was named as co-manager alongside Roy Evans at Liverpool - a city where he had once worked as an assistant in a school.

France have qualified for every World Cup since then, lifting the trophy in 1998 and 2018.

During his career Houllier won the Ligue 1 title with Paris Saint-Germain in 1986, later winning it twice more with Lyon.

Five of those honours were secured in a memorable 2001, with the Reds enjoying a remarkable run on the trophy front.
