Paulo Fonseca
February 2026

Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca said Endrick must learn from his dismissal in the 1-0 win at Nantes, but argued the original straight red was harsh. After review, the red was downgraded to a second yellow, leaving Endrick with only a one-match ban. Fonseca claimed opponents have targeted Endrick with aggressive play in several matches and urged referees to protect his talent, pointing to a Nantes challenge he felt was meant to intimidate. He said he has spoken to Endrick, who now draws constant attention.
