Revealed: Does Fonseca's Ban Extend to Europa League Matches?

Yesterday, the football world was shocked by the news that Lyon's head coach Paulo Fonseca has been banned for 9 months due to his attacks on the referee during the match against Brest. However, there is good news for the "Weavers."

Details: According to L'Equipe, the Portuguese coach's ban does not extend to Europa League matches, only to Ligue 1 and the French Cup games.

This means Fonseca will be able to lead his team in today's match against FCSB in the Europa League Round of 16.

Reminder: Fonseca became Lyon's head coach at the end of January. Under his leadership, the team has played 5 matches - 3 wins and 2 draws.
