Lille president Olivier Létang has been handed a four-month ban following an appeal process stemming from his criticism of a referee's performance during a match against Paris Saint-Germain.

The disciplinary action comes after Létang publicly questioned the officiating in the fixture against PSG. The ban was confirmed on appeal, upholding the initial sanction against the club executive.

Létang, who has led the northern French club since 2020, becomes the latest high-profile figure in French football to face disciplinary consequences for comments directed at match officials.
