Téji Savanier recently attracted the wrath of MHSC supporters. During the huge slap received in the Coupe de France on the pitch at Puy-en-Velay, the midfielder was challenged by supporters present at the edge of the pitch: “Last in Ligue 1, does that hurt?“, said one of them. To which the Montpellier resident replied: “When you earn 210,000 euros per month, no.” Comments which do not provoke a reaction from La Paillade and the supporters. A few days after this unfortunate declaration, the red lantern of Ligue 1 declared via a press release: “do not condone these words which reflect neither the values of the club nor those of its captain.” But Laurent Nicollin, the president of the club, decided to sanction his captain.
Téji Savanier will no longer wear the captain's armband
Téji Savanier's words will not go unpunished. Indeed, according to the latest revelations from L'Équipe, Laurent Nicollin has decided to remove the captain's armband from the former Nîmes player without knowing whether it is a definitive or provisional choice. In addition, the midfielder will be a substitute at kick-off on the pitch at Olympique Lyonnais this Saturday. Finally, Téji Savanier paid 60,000 euros to a charity supported by the club. From now on, the main interested party will have to change tack in order to get MHSC out of the red zone and thus avoid relegation to Ligue 2.
