A Ligue 1 manager is reportedly facing a four-month ban after fighting an opposition player in a touchline fracas that broke out during Lille ’s goalless draw with Metz.
Frederic Antonetti is in his second spell in charge of Metz, but has been unable to drag them out of the relegation zone this season, with last Friday’s draw leaving them second bottom of the French top-flight.
Tensions boiled over at the Stade Pierre Mauroy after Lille star Edon Zhegrova was sent off in stoppage time, with a fight breaking out on the touchline between the two teams.
