Olivier Létang, president of the French football club Lille OSC, has been referred to a disciplinary commission by the National Ethics Council (CNE) of the French Football Federation (FFF). This follows a series of messages he sent regarding refereeing decisions in a recent match. The CNE has passed the case to the disciplinary commission of the Ligue de Football Professionnel (LFP), which will formally summon Létang to address his conduct after the Lille-PSG match at the end of August. According to the CNE’s findings, based on a report from referee Eric Wattelier, Létang reacted strongly to the outcome of the match. After Lille conceded two late goals and the game ended in a 2-2 draw after extra time, Létang reportedly challenged the extra time period and expressed frustration, saying "it was always the same" in the stadium corridors. The CNE also reviewed messages and emails exchanged between Létang and officials after the match, which are now under scrutiny. On August 28 at 10:53 PM, Létang sent a message to the national director of refereeing, stating: "I had warned you! It is shameful!" A second email was sent on August 29 at 03:08 AM to the same director, with a copy to officials from both the FFF and LFP. In this message, Létang criticized the "lightness and lack of discernment in the selection of referees" and warned that "we will no longer be able to accept being refereed by this person." On August 29 at 12:23 PM, Létang sent another email to the same recipients, reiterating his criticism of the referee director and stating that "we will never accept Mr. Wattelier as a referee for one of our matches again." Despite a response from the referee director on August 29 at 8:29 PM, Létang continued to maintain his position in an email sent on August 31, with a copy to football officials. Lille OSC has defended Létang’s actions, stating that he remained within the bounds of proper conduct in all exchanges. The club also mentioned that Létang had previously raised concerns about the appointment of Eric Wattelier for the match against PSG, citing past incidents and tensions during the derby against Lens last season. Lille insists that all post-match communications were respectful, without any insults, threats, or aggression. Létang now faces the possibility of a new sanction. This comes after he was suspended for two months in January of last year for his behavior toward Wattelier during halftime of the Lille-Rennes match. The current situation could lead to further disciplinary action, depending on the findings of the LFP’s disciplinary commission.
