The manager's outburst at the end of Lyon's win over Brest resulted in an unprecedented ban that will keep him from the touchline through the end of November.

Lyon manager, Paulo Fonseca, has been handed a nine-month ban by the French Professional Football League, FLP. This follows his confrontation with referee Benoit Millot during his side’s 2-1 win over Brest in a Ligue 1 match.

French club Lyon says it sanction Paulo Fonseca after the coach lost his temper and confronted a referee in an extraordinary outburst of rage during a league match at the weekend. Fonseca was sent off deep in stoppage time during a 2-1 win against Brest for angrily reacting to a potential Brest penalty.
