Lyon set to avoid sanctions from the DNCG

According to a report from Sacha Tavolieri, Olympique Lyonnais are set to avoid sanctions when they meet with the Direction Nationale du Contrôle de Gestion (DNCG) this year. The Rhone club have been under strict monitoring after financial difficulty.

OL were previously relegated to Ligue 2 by the French football financial watchdog, but this decision was reversed on appeal. A stricter policy on the way the club has been run under the presidency of Michelle Kang has seen the club’s financial picture improve.
