Olympique Lyonnais are evaluating potential successors to head coach Paulo Fonseca, with Pierre Sage, Carlos Vicens, and Thiago Motta emerging as leading candidates for the Ligue 1 club's managerial position.
The French outfit is reportedly conducting a review of its technical leadership as it seeks to stabilize its campaign. Fonseca's tenure has come under scrutiny, prompting the club's hierarchy to identify alternatives ahead of a possible change.
Sage, currently in charge of Lyon's reserve side, represents an internal option with familiarity of the club's structure. Vicens, who has coached in Spain and France, brings experience across different leagues. Motta, the former Paris Saint-Germain and Italy midfielder, has been building his managerial reputation since retiring as a player.
No timeline has been disclosed for a final decision, though the club is expected to move swiftly should it opt for a change in the dugout.
