Carlos Vicens is appointed as the new manager of French club Lyon, with the move coming shortly after his dismissal by Portuguese side Braga. The 43-year-old Spaniard takes over at the Groupama Stadium to replace Paulo Fonseca, who left Lyon for Sporting CP last week.
Across the outlets, the emphasis is on Vicens’s rapid turnaround between clubs and his coaching background. Yahoo Sports highlights the short gap between Braga’s sacking and the Lyon appointment and notes his prior role as a former Manchester City assistant. Free Malaysia Today and Channel NewsAsia focus on the contract length, reporting that Vicens is appointed until 2028, while also reiterating the transition from Fonseca to Sporting Lisbon.
