The video made people smile on social networks. But it hardly amused the leaders of En Avant Guingamp.

Guingamp thus sent a letter to the French federation to request that the technician no longer cover women’s D 1 matches, “whose image he has sullied by the rudeness of his interventions”, and even less in Côtes-d’ Armor.

The club also demands that the production company and its employee apologize to the city, whose image they believe has been tarnished.
“It is with great sadness and desolation that the club discovered this weekend the scandalous words made on the air by an FFF TV technician during the meeting of D 1 Arkema Guingamp – FC Fleury 91, explains in a communicated the club dear to the former president of the FFF Noël Le Graët.
