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.

• 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.
• Vicens succeeds Fonseca, who left Lyon last week to become manager of Sporting.
• Lyon sit fifth in Ligue 1 and 13th in the Europa League standings. REUTERS
