Gourvennec, 50, has only been in office for a year after taking over from Christophe Galtier, who joined Nice and is now wanted by PSG.
The only trophy Gourvennec won with Lille was the French Super Cup when they defeated PSG 1-0. His team was eliminated in the Champions League round of 16 against Chelsea and has failed to qualify for any European competition this coming season.
“Lille would like to sincerely thank Jocelyn Gourvennec for his collaboration, his commitment and his professionalism throughout this 2021-2022 season,” Lille said in an official statement.
According to L’Équipe, Gourvennec’s successor could be the Portuguese Paulo Fonseca.
