After five major trophies in six seasons Houllier left Anfield in 2004, returning to his native France to guide Olympique Lyonnais to league titles in each of his seasons in charge to set a new French record of six successive Ligue 1 titles.
Having stepped down at the end of 2006/07, he returned to the FFF to pick up where he had left off almost ten years previously, once again assuming the role of technical director.
Houllier has been awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his services to French football, and an honorary OBE for services to British football.
An excellent speaker, Gérard has contributed to conferences and events all around Europe talking with authority about his experience in the high pressure of coaching high level football teams. He will bring all of his experience together in his speech ‘Key Ingredients for a Winning Team’.
