For having attacked his coach, Mamadou Sakho risks being fired by his Montpellier club.
Seven years after being fired from Liverpool, will Mamadou Sakho be fired by Montpellier? It looks like that’s where we’re headed. The former French international has become persona non grata on the Paillade side.
Sakho in dirty sheets
According to information from L’Equipe, Mamadou Sakho has just been laid off by the MHSC. The club sanctioned him after he physically attacked his trainer Michel Der Zakarian during a training session.
The reason for this slippage? The central defender would not have appreciated a remark from the coach at all. The latter would have called her a “weeper”. Given his stats, he would have considered it hurtful to be made fun of like this in front of all his teammates.
The knee-jerk reaction that followed was not justified, however, and Sakho risks paying a high price for his loss of control. At 33, he could find himself without a club in the middle of a season. And there is no guarantee that it can bounce back elsewhere.
