Lyon's head coach Paulo Fonseca faces a seven-month suspension due to his behavior during today's match against Brest. Football Italia reports that the Portuguese specialist displayed inappropriate conduct towards the referee, which could lead to serious sanctions.
Details: During the match, Fonseca was sent off for disputing referee decisions. However, the incident did not end there — the coach approached referee Benoît Millot, pressing his forehead against him, and began loudly shouting complaints. This gesture was deemed extremely aggressive and is likely to result in severe disciplinary action from French football authorities.
Reminder: Later, Fonseca apologized in an interview with DAZN, admitting that his behavior was inappropriate. Nevertheless, according to RMC Sport, he could face a suspension of up to seven months. Notably, the match ended with Fonseca's team securing a 2-1 victory.
