Rachid Ghezzal has confirmed his departure from Olympique Lyon bringing an end to a brief return to the club.

The 34-year-old Algerian rejoined the club last summer as a free agent after leaving Caykur Rizespor nearly a decade after his exit in 2017 to AS Monaco.

Ghezzal was brought into Paulo Fonseca’s squad to add experience and potentially prepare for a future coaching pathway within the club’s structure. 

However, he was largely used in a supporting role, making 12 appearances across all competitions. 

“Season filled with incredible and difficult moments. Even though I would have liked to have contributed more on the pitch, I am very proud to have had the opportunity to wear this shirt,” Ghezzal wrote on Instagram. 

“Thank you to all of you – players, staff, management – but above all to you, the fans, for your support throughout the season. The best is yet to come.”
