The seven-time French champion fired Puel earlier this week, ending the coach’s disappointing three-year tenure at the club.

Lyon reached the Champions League semifinals for the first time in 2010 but hasn’t won a trophy since Puel took over from Alain Perrin, who led Lyon to the league and French Cup double in 2007-08.

The 45-year-old Garde started his career with Lyon where he played nine years before joining Strasbourg then Arsenal. He returned to the club in 2003 as a staff member.
