Carlos Vicens has been appointed head coach of Lyon, the French club have confirmed on social media.
The 43-year-old Spaniard succeeds Paulo Fonseca, who left Lyon to take charge of Sporting in Lisbon.
Vicens was dismissed by Portuguese club Braga several weeks ago after taking over as manager in the summer of 2025. Before joining Braga, he spent eight years working within the Manchester City system, including a spell as part of Pep Guardiola’s first-team coaching staff.
Lyon are fifth in the French championship after 10 rounds, with 17 points.
