The dream of countless OL fans will come true Friday night when the legendary Brazilian symbolically returns home to the club as sporting director. The King of Gerland, with 344 matches played and 100 goals for Lyon, is ready to take the next step in his career - and Groupama Stadium is ready to roar with pleasure.

During a recent appearance on OL Access, Lyon's sporting director took stock of the offseason and transfer window before setting ambitions for the season that gets underway Friday in Monaco. The entire episode is available on OL Play.

OL's new sporting director arrived at the team's training camp in the Savoyard resort much in the same way he did 18 years earlier as a player.
