Olympique Lyon has officially announced the departure of coach Paulo Fonseca to Sporting Lisbon, who joined the team in January 2025. The Portuguese club will pay a €5 million compensation for the early termination of his contract, which was set to last until June 2027. Lyon is now focused on finding a successor who can maintain the club's sporting project and high standards. Fonseca's departure comes as Lyon sits third in Ligue 1, with upcoming matches against Real Sociedad and Brest. Jorge Maciel, Fonseca's former assistant, will temporarily manage the team during this transition.
