Vicens takes over at Lyon
Lyon have their coach. The club confirmed on Monday evening that Carlos Vicens, the Spaniard who previously managed Braga, takes charge of the first team on a contract that runs until June 2028.
He replaces Paulo Fonseca, whose departure had left assistant Jorge Maciel running the side on an interim basis. The announcement lands as Ligue 1 stops for the international break, so the new man gets a pause in league action before his first real test.

What Lyon say about the choice
In its statement, the club said Vicens’ approach to the game, the standards he demands and the importance he gives to developing players fit the direction it has set. That last point is the one to follow: Lyon are presenting this as a project appointment, not a quick fix.
The contract length backs that up. Two and a half seasons is a long runway for a club that has changed benches once already this year.
