Athis-Mons gives its version after the violent attack suffered by a trainer

A tragedy was narrowly avoided this Saturday during a U18 women's Regional 2 match between USO Athis-Mons and FC Solitaires Paris Est in the Paris region. The volunteer coach of the visiting club, Hakim Djellid, was violently attacked by local supporters after an invasion of the pitch following a red card inflicted on a USO Athis-Mons player. When questioned, the victim explained that he had suffered head trauma and various injuries. For its part, the USO Athis-Mons gave its own version of the facts.

Who's telling the truth?

This Tuesday, the USO Athis-Mons club spoke out in turn on this affair, through its president, Ghislaine Morandi, in Le Parisien. The club “strongly condemns” the incident, described as “regrettable”, but wishes to “reestablish the truth”. According to the leader, “there is 20% truth and 80% falsehood. This story has been amplified.” Absent during the meeting, she filed a report with the Essonne district and the Paris League, after questioning those present, and a hand in hand with the police.

The president added: “Even the referee wanted to resume the match after the intervention of the police. I consider that he did his job and that the conditions were met for the educator to be able to resume That ultimately wasn't the case. The opposing trainer stayed for two hours talking in the clubhouse before leaving on his own. We're quite shocked to read this.” According to Le Parisien, the incident is taken seriously by the authorities, who will examine it in the disciplinary committee. USO Athis-Mons requested that the return match be played on neutral ground.
