Lyon have confirmed the appointment of Rudi Garcia as head coach on a deal reportedly running until June 2021.
The former Lille, Roma and Marseille boss replaces Sylvinho, who was sacked last week less than five months on from succeeding Bruno Genesio.
Laurent Blanc and Jose Mourinho were linked to the role, but a recruitment panel headed up by sporting director Juninho Pernambucano and including Gerard Houllier unanimously agreed on Garcia.
The 55-year-old won a domestic double in charge of Lille in 2010-11 and led Marseille to the Europa League final two seasons ago.

Verdict: Sevilla to score over 2,5 goals yes
Best Odds:
Bookmaker:
Sevilla are 90 minutes away from reaching the third qualifying stage in the UEFA Europa League and barring an epic collapse, they should advance rather easily. They will travel to Budapest to take on Ujpest, but already won the first leg by a comfortable 4-0 score so we shouldn t expect the Liga side to suffer in this one. The match will be played at 20.00 hrs (BST) at Ferenc Szusza Stadion. Kirill Levnikov (RUS) will be the referee.
Újpest
Let s be honest here. Újpest do not have a realistic chance of turning things around against Sevilla. We could say that anything can happen, and that Újpest will get a massive boost with the support of their fans. But we must keep this realis…
Barcelona are interested in signing Adama Traore from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the summer of 2021, according to Traore was on the books of Barcelona from 2004 until 2015 and progressed through the ranks.

According to , the 25-year-old has made 19 starts and eight substitute appearances in the Premier League for the Wanderers so far this season.

Chelsea are set to step up their pursuit of West Ham s Declan Rice as manager Frank Lampard seeks for defensive reinforcements, according to .
Lampard obviously feels the heart of his defence needs bolstering, and he has identified Rice as a potential addition to the centre-back department.
Having initially started out at Chelsea s youth setup, the 21-year-old switched to West Ham in 2013 and passed through the ranks, eventually reaching the first team after four years at the club. Though he was schooled as a centre-back, Rice has mostly been playing as a defensive midfielder for the Hammers. This season, he has made a total of 34 appearances in all competitions so far. However, Lampard is keen to revert him to his original role in the back line.
Rice is under c…
Mohamed Salah put last season s final heartbreak behind him by setting up a 2-0 win over Tottenham in Madrid and a sixth Champions League triumph for Liverpool.
Egypt star Salah was infamously injured in a challenge with Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos before the Reds subsided to a 3-1 defeat in Kiev 12 months ago but grabbed the opener in a largely forgettable contest at the Wanda Metropolitano.
The Premier League Golden Boot winner dispatched a second-minute penalty after Moussa Sissoko was penalised for handball.
Liverpool and their Premier League counterparts played in fits and starts thereafter, with Spurs enjoying their most consistent spell of pressure before substitute Divock Origi added to his semi-final brace against Barcelona by drilling clinically in…
There were plenty of smiles from Liverpool players after their first win over Manchester United at Old Trafford since 2014, but Sadio Mane was obviously not happy with manager Jurgen Klopp after starting the match on the bench.

Valencia s scattered defenders looked like a collection of punch-drunk strangers after Atalanta wing-back Hans Hateboer tore gleefully down their vacant left flank and smashed home his second goal of the match.
With just over an hour played, Gian Piero Gasperini s blue and black wrecking machine were 4-0 up in the club s first ever Champions League knockout tie.
Blistering long-range strikes from Josip Ilicic and Remo Freuler sparked scenes of delirium in the stands at San Siro Milan s celebrated football coliseum and temporary home to Atalanta s European home matches, with more than 40,000 fans making the pilgrimage from Bergamo for the most significant night in their club s 112-year history.

Bayern Munich have hit out at Germany coach Joachim Low over the timing of his announcement that Jerome Boateng, Mats Hummels and Thomas Muller will no longer be considered for selection.
Low confirmed in a Bild interview on Tuesday the experienced Bayern trio all part of Germany s triumphant squad at the 2014 World Cup are being dropped ahead of Euro 2020 qualifying.
Germany had an appalling title defence at the World Cup in Russia last year, failing to progress from the group stage, before suffering relegation in their inaugural Nations League campaign.
Boateng, Muller and Hummels have played 246 international matches between them and Bayern complained that Low and Germany s general manager Oliver Bierhoff arrived unannounced at the club s Sabener Strasse t…
Luis Enrique said it was a good thing Gerard Moreno missed a string of chances in Spain s victory against Switzerland rather than Alvaro Morata following the recent criticism aimed at the Juventus striker.
Three-time European champions Spain booked their place in the semi-finals of Euro 2020 on Friday with a dramatic penalty shoot-out victory over 10-man Switzerland.
La Roja, who needed extra time to overcome Croatia in the last 16, were pegged back by a Xherdan Shaqiri strike in St Petersburg after Denis Zakaria s own goal had put them in front.
Even after Remo Freuler s dismissal with 77 minutes played, Luis Enrique s men could not find a way through due to a mixture of profligacy and a number of Yann Sommer saves – a tournament-high 10 in total.
