Paulo Fonseca's wife, Kateryna, has claimed her husband has been the victim of a "political execution" after he was suspended for nine months.

Paulo Fonseca, the head coach of French soccer team Olympique Lyonnais, has been given a nine-month suspension after confronting a referee – a sanction the club described as “severe” and “unprecedented.

The players of Olympique Lyon noticed the situation and did everything possible to support Paulo Fonseca, who seems to have landed on his feet in the locker room after a rather turbulent period during his short stint at Milan. There was even speculation about several confrontations with stars like Theo Hernández or Leao.
