Fired a few weeks ago by AC Milan, Paulo Fonseca could quickly find a job. In Italy, it is announced that the Portuguese coach has contacts with Olympique Lyonnais.
Arriving last summer on the Milan bench, Paulo Fonseca did not survive a series of poor results, the former Lille coach being sacked on December 30 and immediately replaced by Sergio Conceiçao. But obviously, it is clear that the 51-year-old technician will not stay without a club for long. And this Monday, Simone Lorini, Italian journalist for Tuttomercatoweblaunches a real bombshell by affirming that Paulo Fonseca will be able to return quickly to Ligue 1 since contacts would have been made between Olympique Lyonnais and the Portuguese coach, the idea of John Textor's club being to bring Paulo Fonseca instead of Pierre Sage on the OL bench.
Fonseca to Lyon next season?
However, our Italian colleague admits that he is not yet certain of the date of the possible arrival of the former LOSC and AC Milan technician in Lyon, to the extent that, despite his dismissal, the effective departure by Paulo Fonseca from Milan will not be official until next June. In other words, it could be that the current negotiations concern next season and that Pierre Sage will remain in his position until the end of the championship. This is not the first time that the name of Paulo Fonseca has been associated with Olympique Lyonnais, since even before Sage's appointment last year, the Portuguese coach had been mentioned at Groupama Stadium. We also need to know where OL will be at the end of the season, the threat of relegation by the DNCG still being present, even if there is general optimism on the Lyon side regarding this subject.
