The scene did not go unnoticed last Thursday in the Europa League. At half-time of the meeting between LOSC and PAOK Salonique, at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium (3-4 defeat for Lille then trailing 0-3 at the break), the president of the northern club, Olivier Létang, got angry with the refereeing body.
“ I have already written to Mr. Ceferin (the president of UEFA, editor’s note), what happened tonight is incredible
», then launched behind the scenes the boss of the Dogues, after Mr. Dabanovic, the Montenegrin official of this match, after a penalty which was nevertheless obvious in view of the images of the VAR refused to Matias Fernandez-Pardo.
Did Aleksander Ceferin receive the supposed message from Olivier Létang? Still, UEFA reacted to the call from the Lille leader. But not necessarily as expected. A disciplinary procedure was thus opened against the former sports director of PSG.
Létang, already a liability in Ligue 1
“ A decision will be made in November “, ” without specific date at the moment », A spokesperson for the European Football Confederation was able to tell Agence France Presse this Wednesday. The person concerned thus risks a fine and possible suspension.
Very recently, Olivier Létang was singled out by the disciplinary committee of the Professional Football League for having criticized Ligue 1 referees. The LOSC president then received a firm suspension from the sidelines for one match, accompanied by a suspension of two additional suspended matches.
