"Things may not have gone well for Paulo Fonseca at AC Milan, but now he is very much a fan favourite at his current club Lyon. Fonseca was hired by Milan to replace Stefano Pioli before the start of the 2024-25 season, but he didn't even make it into 2025. The Portuguese was sacked after a 1-1 draw at home against Roma on December 29, and his compatriot Sergio Conceicao replaced him."
"Things didn't start brilliantly: Fonseca was handed a nine-month ban in March 2025 for a violent confrontation with referee Benoît Millot during a Ligue 1 match against Brest, after the coach was sent off for dissent following a VAR review. Fast-forward to now, Lyon are in excellent form and most recently beat Nice 2-0 on Sunday, taking them to within six points of second-place PSG, who in turn are one point behind RC Lens."
Paulo Fonseca left AC Milan after being sacked following a 1-1 home draw with Roma and was replaced by Sergio Conceicao. He returned to Ligue 1 as Lyon coach, after earlier praise for his work at Lille. Fonseca received a nine-month ban in March 2025 for a violent confrontation with referee Benoît Millot following a VAR-review dismissal for dissent. Lyon have since risen into excellent form, recording 13 straight wins in all competitions and winning 2-0 at Nice to move within six points of second-place PSG. Supporters displayed a banner thanking Fonseca, which left him visibly emotional.
