Lyon players showed their support for their coach Paulo Fonseca during the team’s match against Bucharest in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League Round of 16.
Lyon secured a 3-1 victory over Bucharest away from home, putting one foot in the quarter-finals of the competition.
After Lyon scored the opening goal, the players went to celebrate with their coach in a show of support following his 9-month suspension in Ligue 1.
The Portuguese coach could not hold back his tears after this wonderful gesture from his players.
The French Football Federation announced yesterday the suspension of Fonseca for 9 months due to his violent protest against the referee during his team’s match against Brest last Sunday.
