Sunday, during the last moments of the meeting between Olympique Lyonnais and Brest (2-1),
Paulo Fonseca had deplorable behavior. The Portuguese technician yelled in the face of referee Benoît Millot, while dangerously closer to his forehead.
The former AC Milan coach will undoubtedly get a long suspension. “Lyon is not going to have a coach on the bench by the end of the season, Imagine Daniel Riolo on RMC. Already that Lyon is poorly embarked to get the Champions League league goal, they will not have a coach on the bench so he will be placed where? They can make us the masquerade of the English coach three rows behind who continues to give instructions. If it is accepted by French football-which would not surprise me-let's accept it, otherwise it's three rows above. The fact remains that he is not in the place where he must be. Lyon will play without coach, in terms of image, it's catastrophic. »»
Paulo Fonseca on the OL bench, it's over
Rhodanian leaders could make a radical decision. “If I were John Textor I would say to Fonseca: 'Not only are you going to be fired but you will have no compensation because it is a serious fault.” In the concept of serious fault, I put the image you give of your club, continues the sports journalist. It is a deplorable image of a guy who no longer controls himself at all, who farts a cable and who puts head with the referee. This is the step just before the worst of everything. There are the sanctions but I want to get into the moral framework of a French football that would like to do the cleaning and that should pay attention to what it does. »»
Last January, Paulo Fonseca had succeeded Pierre Sage by being named OL coach until 2027. Since then, he won three games with the Rhone club and lost two.
