According to L’Équipe, the management of the “Weavers” has decided to dismiss Pierre Sages from the position of head coach of Lyon after a series of five matches without a win and elimination from the French Cup by an amateur team.

Now Paulo Fonseca is the main candidate for this position. Negotiations between the owner of Lyon and the Portuguese coach have already taken place. Fonseca arrived in France with his assistants.
