MatthieuLouis-Jeanet and PauloFonseca spent time preparing the speech, illustrating the unity of the OL sports unit and their determination to meet the expectations of the Portuguese coach. They refuted the idea that the Lyon Mercato would stop with the arrival of DomiNikGreif, expressing the hope of recruiting two or three more players, especially in attack, after the victory against Getafe in Bourgoin. This commitment was quickly realized with the strong interest for AdamKarabec, a young Czech who should reinforce the Lyon attack, mainly in rotation, and who is on the way to engage with OL after discussions on a loan with option of purchase. The final paperwork is underway, and Karabec is expected to arrive shortly for a medical examination before signing for a season with the club.

The OL Academy has experienced a revival of activity with the emergence of young talents like KhalisMerah and the increased presence of players during the pre-season. However, the training centre has experienced recent difficulties, mainly due to disappointing results, instability at the level of supervisors and budgetary problems. With the new season approaching, the goal is to start off on a good basis, despite the departure of AmauryBaarllet, former U17 coach. Although he was present for almost fifteen years, his departure is not considered a hard blow, especially in comparison with Cyrille Dolc, a historical educator of the Academy.

CyrilleDolc, who has scored many generations of Lyon footballers, including KarimBenzema, will leave his post as U15 deputy after being in charge for several years. This departure, announced by the Borgia_OL_Acadet account, raises questions about the future of the Meyzieu Academy. After a long career at the club, Dolc’s departure marks an important transition and leaves a gap in the youth team, while opening the way for new projects for OL’s future.
