The images of his face-to-face confrontation with referee Millot at the end of Lyon-Brest have cost the ex Rossoneri tactician and now manager of OL, Paulo Fonseca, dearly.
The disciplinary body of Ligue 1 issued its decision on the evening of Wednesday, March 5, imposing a heavy suspension on the 52-year-old Portuguese until November 30, 2025.
The facts:
He had reacted poorly, going face-to-face with the referee, who was going to the VAR to review a potential penalty against Lyon (which was later not awarded). Millot immediately showed the red card, but the former AC Milan coach reacted by confronting the referee.
Fonseca's suspension...
The disciplinary commission of the LFP confirmed that it had sanctioned Fonseca with a ban from entering the locker rooms before and after matches until September 15, 2025, but the suspension has been extended until November 30, 2025, with a ban from sitting on the bench in official matches, as relayed via Calciomercato.com.
