This season was Lyon's first ever season under the ownership and presidency of American businessman John Textor, who replaced Jean-Michel Aulas to become the new president, ending Aulas' three-decade rule in the club.^[1] On 13 July, Frenchman Santiago Cucci was named to become the new interim executive president of Lyon but later resigned in November.^[2] Lyon have had the worst start to a season in the club's history in the French top division, being place in a relegatable position from the 2nd matchday until the 16th matchday. After the nomination of Pierre Sage as the team's interim manager, as well as the numerous reinforcements during the winter transfer window, the club carried out a remarkable comeback, winning 15 out 20 games in Ligue 1 under Sage. The club terminated 6th in the league, which gained them a direct qualification to the 2024–25 UEFA Europa League league phase. Furthermore, the club reached the Coupe de France final for the first time since 2012, but was defeated by Paris Saint-Germain.^[3][4]
