In early March, Lyon boss Paulo Fonseca was banned from conducting his matchday duties for nine months following an angry confrontation with referee Benoit Millot in Lyon’s 2-1 win over Brest.

The announcement came on Fonseca’s 52nd birthday, and is one he won’t soon forget. However, OL have shown no signs that their manager’s absence will impact their performances.
