Seven-time French champions Lyon relegated to Ligue 2 over financial problems
November’s provisional relegation upheld by DNCG
Decision comes despite recent sales of key players
Lyon have been relegated to Ligue 2 after failing to convince authorities they have resolved their financial difficulties.
The seven-time French champions were hit with a provisional relegation in November after racking up massive debts, and although they have since sold a number of first-team players, French football watchdog the DNCG upheld the relegation following meetings on Tuesday.
