More key details have emerged this Monday afternoon regarding Paulo Fonseca's appointment as Sporting CP manager on a deal running until 2030. The Lions will pay Lyon €5 million in compensation.
The 53-year-old tactician was under contract with the French outfit until June 2027, but is now committed to the Green and Whites until 2030—coinciding with the end of Frederico Varandas' third and final term as club president.
Sporting's €5 million payout is offset by the €6 million Lyon owe the Lisbon club from a 20 per cent sell-on clause after Afonso Moreira's move to Bayer Leverkusen, whom the Ligue 1 side originally bought from Sporting for €2 million.
Fonseca is scheduled to land in Lisbon on Tuesday and sign his contract on Wednesday, with his official unveiling expected to take place on the same day.
A BOLA understands that the Portuguese manager will earn a net annual salary of €3 million, which translates to a total cost of around €6 million per year for Sporting once taxes are factored in.
