Paulo Fonseca, coach of Milan until December and now coach of Lyon in France, risks a seven-month suspension for a head-to-head argument with referee Benoît Millot in yesterday's Ligue 1 match against Brest. The sporting trial in which the sanction for the Portuguese will be defined will be held on Wednesday at the disciplinary commission of the LFP.
Fonseca's fury was born from a call to the VAR on a possible penalty, which was then not awarded . In France, the sensational discussion between the coach and the referee Millot caused a stir, turning the spotlight back on an increasingly poisonous climate, between violence from fans and refereeing controversies: "We've reached rock bottom, and it's only going down," is one of the headlines in the daily newspaper L'Équipe.
Should the maxi-disqualification for Fonseca be confirmed, his season on the bench would obviously already be over. Lyon has confirmed how they will fine the coach .
