Because of "headbutt"
Lyon coach banned until December after freak-out
Coach Paulo Fonseca was handed a huge punishment just a few weeks after taking up his post at Olympique Lyon. He was banned until November 30 for his outburst against referee Benoit Millot, and the 52-year-old Portuguese is not allowed in the dressing room until September 15. This was the decision of the French league's disciplinary committee.

It was last Sunday, in the league match between Lyon and Stade Brest (2:1). In the 96th minute, VAR reviewed a penalty in the penalty area of a team after Lyon had turned the game around. Fonseca then lost his nerve, protested vehemently to referee Millot and was shown the red card for suggesting a headbutt.
Fonseca had wanted to "physically intimidate" him, the referee told L'Equipe, he had also hinted at a punch, "a headbutt. It's hard to imagine such an aggressive attitude from a professional coach."
Doubly bitter: Millot did not give a penalty, Lyon won the game but lost their coach for the next nine months.
