OL Appoints Carlos Vicens as New Head Coach Following Fonseca’s Departure
Les Gones have swiftly moved to secure a new head coach following the unexpected departure of Paulo Fonseca to Sporting Portugal. On Monday, Olympique Lyonnais officially confirmed the hiring of Carlos Vicens on a two-and-a-half-year contract.
The Spanish coach arrives with an impressive track record, having served as an assistant to Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Vicens gained recognition for his success at Braga, where he guided the team to the Europa League semi-finals in the previous season.
In his new role, Carlos Vicens will focus on steering OL back into the Champions League, continuing the momentum initiated by Fonseca. He has the advantage of a two-week break before his first match, allowing him to familiarize himself with his squad and start implementing his strategies.
