Guardiola disciple dismissed by Braga… who is Carlos Vicens, the favourite to replace Paulo Fonseca? Will Vicens steer Lyon to European glory next season?With Fonseca’s expected move to Sporting, Vicens is tipped to take Lyon’s helm.

Just days after Paulo Fonseca left and Jorge Maciel stepped in temporarily, Lyon announced Carlos Vicens as the new manager on Monday. The 43‑year‑old Spaniard has signed until June 2028. Can he revive Lyon’s fortunes?

The club has now revealed Fonseca’s successor. After Jorge Marciel covered the bench following the Portuguese coach’s exit for Sporting, Lyon confirmed Vicens on Monday. The former Braga boss signs a contract through June 2028, marking his second stint as a head coach. In my view, his Braga pedigree may prove decisive.

‘The playing style, the demand and the focus on player development align perfectly with the club’s vision,’ the Gones wrote.
