LFP Bans Lille President Olivier Létang From Matchday Duties Until March 31

Overview

• Létang received a firm suspension that bars him before, during and after matches from the bench, officials’ dressing rooms and all official functions through March 31.
• The sanction begins on January 20, so he will be available for Lille’s away match at Paris Saint‑Germain on Friday.
• Until February 15, the ban also blocks access to players’ dressing rooms, the pitch, the tunnel and the connecting corridors.
• The decision follows his halftime outburst during Lille’s January 3 defeat to Rennes after Alexsandro was sent off in the 13th minute.
• Lille coach Bruno Genesio was suspended for one match with an additional match suspended for his conduct, including moving toward the referee at halftime and declining post‑match media duties.
