Paulo Fonseca leaves Olympique Lyonnais for Sporting Portugal
On November 4, 2026, Olympique Lyonnais announced the departure of Paulo Fonseca, who joined Sporting Lisbon. Having recently been approached by the Portuguese club, Fonseca expressed his desire to leave his position. Olympique Lyonnais regrets this decision, particularly given its timing in the middle of the season.
Faced with this decision, Lyon's management believes it is best to part ways with Fonseca, deeming his full commitment essential for the success of the sporting project. The club is already searching for a new coach to continue the work begun.
Pending this appointment, Jorge Maciel will take over as manager for the upcoming matches, including the Europa League game against Real Sociedad. Sporting Lisbon will pay a €5 million compensation fee for the termination of Fonseca's contract.
