The scene, very violent, had been broadcast on the Telegram website. At the time of a meeting of second district division opposing Lanester to Gâvres in Morbihan, the referee had been struck by the goalkeeper gâvrais on November 24. Fearing for his safety after sending a third red card to the visitors, the man in black had stopped the match fifteen minutes past the end.

Furious at this decision, Gâvres' goalkeeper then rushed to the referee before kicking and kneeling him. He was arrested a few minutes later by the police.

He will appear on May 14 in Lorient court

Placed under judicial supervision, the goalkeeper will appear on May 14 before the Lorient tribunal de grande instance. While waiting for his judgment, the footballer will also have to put his gloves and his jersey in the closet. According to Ouest-France , the disciplinary committee of the Morbihan district sentenced him last week to seven years of suspension.
