Paulo Fonseca, the coach of Olympique Lyonnais, was distinguished by inappropriate behavior this Sunday against referee Benoît Millot. During the match against Brest (2-1), the Portuguese, furious after his expulsion at the end of the game, advanced head against the official in a gesture of intimidation.
For Frédéric Antonetti, this reaction is a reflection of the weighing climate which reigns within the Rhone club. The former French coach believes that Fonseca sold under pressure, especially since his arrival in Lyon follows a difficult period after his ouster from AC Milan last December.
“It looks very complicated and not very stable there”
“Fonseca went a bit far. Beyond the risks of this profession, two other factors had to push him to get away. Already, he comes out of a failure at AC Milan and that is very hard to rely. Unconsciously, it must have played. Afterwards, the Lyon context seems strange from the outside. The pressure seems to be disproportionate and not necessarily justified. It looks very complicated and not very stable there ”judged the former manager of Rennes for The team This Tuesday.
Expected before the LFP disciplinary committee on Wednesday, Fonseca risks a heavy sanction, which can go up to seven months of suspension.
