Fonseca confirms departure from Lyon

Paulo Fonseca has officially confirmed he will leave Olympique Lyonnais, following speculation that he is set to join his preferred club, Sporting CP. His decision comes after Lyon's 2-0 win over Angers in Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Emotional moment after Tolisso’s goal

Fonseca was visibly emotional after Corentin Tolisso scored the opening goal, hugging him before breaking down at the final whistle and embracing his staff. This moment was seen as a signal of his impending departure from the club.
