In the aftermath of a wild 2-2 draw with Paris Saint-Germain, Lille president Olivier Létang’s anger has followed him from the touchline into the disciplinary process. He is due before the Ligue de Football Professionnel disciplinary commission on Wednesday over his conduct after the match on 28 August.
Létang summoned after Lille-PSG draw
The case stems from Lille’s home meeting with PSG, which ended level after the visitors scored their equaliser beyond the announced stoppage time.
The late goal prompted a strong reaction from Létang, who has frequently challenged refereeing decisions during his time in French football. The National Ethics Council has referred the matter to the LFP’s disciplinary body.
Ethics concerns over statements and messages
The referral concerns both Létang’s public comments after the game and his private exchanges with Antony Gautier, the national director of refereeing.
- Létang is accused of making post-match remarks judged incompatible with football’s ethical standards.
- He is also alleged to have sent several messages to Gautier, described as regularly aggressive.
- Those communications were copied to senior figures at the French Football Federation and the LFP.
- The Ethics Council noted that Létang has previously received punishment for similar behaviour.
Disciplinary commission to examine conduct
The complaint alleges that Lille’s president failed to meet the duties of respect and exemplary behaviour required under French football’s ethics charter. The LFP commission will now consider the case and determine whether further action is warranted.
