News about Michel Der Zakarian

After layers and staff members stepped in to prevent the situation from getting worse, the confrontation was reported to have been sparked when Sakho was not given a foul by Der Zakarian during preparations and the Armenian called him a "cry baby," and Sakho began to leave the training pitch. Following the incident and risked being fired, Sakho was suspended by the club, but he hasn't left the club, apparently out of his own accord, for good. On Thursday, the 33-year-old released a note announcing his resignation but maintaining his innocence in the case while refusing to accept any part of the blame.

Mamadou Sakho, a former Liverpool manager, reportedly assaulted Montpellier manager Michel Der Zakarian after training on Tuesday evening and is now in danger of being fired by the French club. The 33-year-old spent eight years in the Premier League, four of which were spent at Anfield, before moving to Crystal Palace in 2017. He travelled back to France in 2021 to sign for Montpellier, but his days with the team's manager could be numbered.

After being held at home by in-form Montpellier in a lacklustre 1-1 draw on Friday, Marseille missed the opportunity to put pressure on Ligue 1 leaders Paris Saint-Germain. As Marseille maintained their seven-game unbeaten run since Michel Der Zakarian's return to the city in February, Matteo Guendouzi's first-half penalty was all Marseille had to show for dominating both possession and opportunity. Marseille's draw means PSG will win by a margin on Sunday over Lyon in their game in hand.
