Lille’s Paulo Fonseca joins Xabi Alonso and Carlo Ancelotti on unbeaten podium

Paulo Fonseca is enjoying a strong campaign in charge of Lille, who are currently on an impressive unbeaten run during his second season in French football.

Sunday’s 2-0 home victory over Metz in Ligue 1 sees Les Dogues maintain their place in the top four, while Fonseca’s side have also successfully navigated their Europa League group by qualifying with one match to spare.

Lille have now gone twelve matches unbeaten in all competitions, which is the 3rd longest run without defeat across teams in Europe’s top five leagues.
