Lyon Boss Fonseca Hit with Nine-Month Ban, Owner Offers Support Paulo Fonseca faces a nine-month ban from domestic competitions after a heated confrontation with a referee during Lyon’s 2-1 win over Brest. The French League’s disciplinary commission deemed his actions "intimidating and threatening," barring him from the dugout and locker rooms until November. Lyon has called the punishment excessively harsh and is exploring possible appeals. Club owner John Textor voiced his support: “You made a mistake, but your punishment is unfair. You are the right man for Lyon.” Fonseca remains eligible to coach in European competitions, including Thursday’s Europa League
