PARIS, Nov 9 : Olympique Lyonnais have appointed Spain's Carlos Vicens as their new coach until June 2028 to succeed Paulo Fonseca, the French side said on Monday.
• "The management has chosen Carlos Vicens, whose approach to the game, demands and emphasis on player development fully match the direction set by the club," Lyon said in a statement.
• Vicens, 43, left SC Braga last month after 15 months in charge. He led the Portuguese side to the 2025-26 Europa League semi-finals.
• He was part of Pep Guardiola's coaching staff at Manchester City from 2021 to 2025.
