Since its takeover, MicheleKangenchain has been working to consolidate the situation of Olympique Lyonnais. Her action helped keep the club in Ligue 1, and she just got another financial victory for OL. Thanks to his efforts, negotiations with Groupama, the club’s historic partner until 2025, were unlocked. A new partnership is being finalized, with specific details to be communicated shortly. This success reflects the new management’s ability to maintain strong economic relations for the club.

The emergence of Mathysde Carvalho is a concrete example of OL’s investment in its training. Trained at the Lyon Training Centre from the age of six, the young defensive environment has progressed within the various youth teams. Last season, he played regularly with the reserve team, participating in 22 matches including 16 in title, while contributing 3 goals and 3 assists. The reserve team made an honorable season in National 3, approaching a historic title at the Premier League International Cup in May 2025, before succumbing to Nottingham Forest in the final.

Mathysde Carvalho’s future looks promising. He has just signed a three-year contract with Olympique Lyonnais, binding him to the club until 2028. The new management, under the supervision of Paulo Fonseca, intends to build on the talents of his training, and the young middle 20 could well join the first team. Although he is not currently one of the players preparing with the professional staff, his potential is closely monitored, and he may have a chance in the future. This youth development policy is an important focus for OL.
