Fonseca, who objected to the referee Benoit Millot in a match against Olympic Lyon against Stade Brestois last week, was sentenced to banned from football for 9 months.
Fonseca will not be able to sit in the bench until 30 November 2025. In addition, the banning room ban will end on September 15, 2025.
Attack on the referee
Fonseca, who could not control his nerves on the 96th minute of the match, was not given a penalty in favor of Brest. Portuguese coach, the referee attempted to walk on the head, but the technical team and the footballers were calmed. After the match, he apologized for this behavior.
