A somewhat unusual event was recorded in the "Ligue 1" championship.

After the match in the French league against "Marseille" (0:5) that took place last weekend, "Montpellier" coach Michel Der Zakarian was dismissed.

However, this happened in an unusual way – during a live television broadcast that took place after the match, where the club president Laurent Nicollin spoke.

"We cannot change 25 players, so unfortunately, I was forced to make the decision to suspend the coach's activities that evening.

I told the players in the locker room that they did a "great" job the other night and turned their coach into an unemployed person," L. Nicollin explained.
