The highest French football league "Ligue 1" cut short due to the coronavirus pandemic season is definitely not going to be extended. The decisions of the French authorities led to the suspension of the competition, and once again the country's champion became the Parisian club "Saint-Germain". The decision of "Ligue 1" also resulted in "Lyon" missing out on European tournaments next season, while the last two places were taken by the clubs "Amiens" and "Toulouse" who will play in the country's second football division. "Amiens" and "Lyon" clubs have already announced that they plan to take legal action against such a decision of the league, and Antoine Kombouare, who led the "Toulouse" team this season, urges "Ligue 1" footballers to strike if the league is not expanded to 22 teams next season. "Players and coaches must unite for the strike if "Amiens" and "Toulouse" do not secure their places in the "Ligue 1" competition. Clubs will face a lot of problems, even if we are talking about the amateur level. Some players may even have to end their careers this way. I really don't like this injustice. We must stay united during this difficult period. Unfortunately, we lack that unity and it angers me," - former "Toulouse" coach said in an interview with "L'Equipe".
