Quintuple reigning European champions, the Lyonnaises were taken out of the Women's Champions League on April 18 by PSG in the quarter-finals.
A fatal elimination to coach Jean-Luc Vasseur.
The Rhone technician was dismissed from his duties on Tuesday, April 27.
"Olympique Lyonnais and Jean-Luc Vasseur have taken the joint decision to end their collaboration as of Tuesday," said the Rhone club in a press release.
The former coach of the reserve of PSG and Paris FC is replaced by Sonia Bompastor, former multi-talented OL player briefly spent in Paris and the United States.
The former French international was director of the club's women's academy since 2013. It is presented to the press on Tuesday afternoon.

A "final" of the championship at the end of May
Arrived at OL in the summer of 2019, Vasseur was notably chosen by GĂ©rard Houllier.
Winner of the championship and the Champions League in 2020, he did not survive the elimination, more than logical, of OL by Paris in the quarter-finals of the C1, mid-April.
In the game, the Rhodaniennes appeared largely behind the Parisiennes.
On the way there as well as on the way back.
At the club, voices criticized the technician for not being able to advance his team.
The award was rather expected at the end of the season.
So she has already fallen.
Second in the women's D1 with one point behind PSG, Lyon will face Paris again at Groupama Stadium at the end of May for a real final with the women's D1 title at stake. And will try to glean the trophy for the… 15th year of 'in a row.
Now with Sonia Bompastor at the helm.
