Nantes head coach Vahid Halilhodžić has been handed a four-match touchline ban. The manager reacted furiously after defender Demen Tabibou received a red card, confronting the fourth official. He was subsequently sent off by the main referee.
Halilhodžić repeatedly questioned the officials, asking seven times, "Aren't you ashamed?" After the match, he expressed his bewilderment at the red card. "He's a young referee who told me not to talk too much because I could be penalized. It doesn't matter to me. Even if they ban me for ten years, because I'm done with football. When I see such injustice, I react," the coach stated.
He will miss tomorrow's clash against Paris Saint-Germain, as well as the matches against Rennes, Marseille, and Lens. Halilhodžić is set to return to the dugout for the final-round fixture against Toulouse. He rejoined Nantes in an attempt to save the team from relegation. The "Canaries" currently sit second to last, five points adrift of Auxerre, who occupy 16th place – a position that secures a playoff spot.
