Jean-Michel Aulas : « Juninho va nous rejoindre avec Sylvinho »

OL's president took advantage of Lyon's 4-0 victory over Caen to confirm that former player Juninho would join the club as sporting director, with fellow Brazilian Sylvinho taking the reins as manager.

THOUGHTS ON THE SEASON

"First of all, I would like to pay tribute to Bruno, who knew, while we were going through tough times, how to always motivate the players. This is the most beautiful stadium in Europe, we have one of the strongest Academies, the women proved earlier today that they're the best. But it's a mixed season. We have seen some fans get involved in the internal aspects of the club. But the Lyonnaise institution was strong."

JUNINHO AND SYLVINHO ARE A DONE DEAL

"We have found the best solution with Juninho, who has extraordinary credibility. Sylvinho will come with one of his assistants to bring technicality. Bruno's assistants will be able to stay. The negotiations were confidential. Juninho knows where he's coming from. We will be able to build on all the achievements of this year and add new things. There will be something new in terms of players."
