To shake up a team in need of an electric shock, the leaders of Rennes made a daring bet with the imminent arrival of the bubbling Argentinian coach Jorge Sampaoli.
The former Argentinian coach should arrive with his physical trainer Pablo Fernandeza well-known character on the Allianz Riviera side.
A punch to a Nice supporter
The sulphurous assistant to the former OM coach sadly stood out on the evening of the Nice-Marseille derby during the 2021-2022 season after the invasion of the pitch which followed the throwing of a plastic bottle at Dimitri Payet.
During these clashes, Pablo Fernandez violently punched an OGC supporter Nice. A gesture which had earned him a suspension from the field until the end of the season.
Also fired by Flamengo after attacking a player
Loyal to Jorge Sampaoli, Pablo Fernandez then followed the Argentine coach to Flamengo in Brazil. There, he also distinguished himself by punching the club's selling striker, Pedro, after a match in the locker room.
Pablo Fernandez was subsequently sacked by the club.
He should return to Allianz Riviera on January 5 during the 16th day of Ligue 1.
