Téji Savanier is at the center of criticism after the elimination of Montpellier in the Coupe de France. Daniel Riolo requests his immediate departure.
The humiliation in the Coupe de France against Le Puy (0-4) continues to shake Montpellier HSC, and captain Téji Savanier is now at the heart of the controversy. The words of the midfielder, who declared that he was experiencing the crisis peacefully thanks to his salary, provoked a strong reaction, in particular from Daniel Riolo, RMC consultant.
Riolo intractable: “I’m kicking him out of the club”
In the After Foot, Daniel Riolo did not mince his words: “I don’t accept Savanier’s excuses. I’m kicking him out of the club immediately. » While recognizing Savanier’s past contributions, Riolo questions his current involvement: “For several months, he has not brought anything. He should be taken out of the team to test other solutions in midfield. »
This statement echoes criticism from former Montpellier coach Michel Der Zakarian, who denounced Savanier’s untouchable status and problems linked to his physical condition.
Montpellier supporters express their fed up
The ultra group Butte Paillade 91 also expressed its anger through a press release published on December 24: “When we think we have hit rock bottom, they find a way to take us further down. This statement is the last straw. »
They also denounce apologies deemed insufficient and orchestrated by the club’s communication.
While Montpellier HSC occupies last place in Ligue 1, the Savanier case symbolizes the growing tensions around a club in the midst of a sporting crisis.
