Answer
Houllier resigned from Lyon on May 25, 2007, after a successful seven-year tenure. During his time at the club, he led Lyon to five consecutive Ligue 1 titles and reached the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League in 2004. Houllier's decision to resign came after Lyon's disappointing performance in the 2006-07 season, where they finished third in Ligue 1 and were eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League.
