In a setback for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the LFP Appeal Commission extended the suspension of PSG’s sporting director, Leonardo, from 9 months to one year. Leonardo was initially suspended for pushing the referee Alexandre Castro after the PSG vs. Valenciennes match on May 5 at Parc des Princes.
With this decision, Leonardo is suspended from all official functions until June 30, 2014. The extension of the suspension may raise questions about his future at PSG. There were already reports suggesting that Leonardo is considering a return to Italy.
The decision comes at a challenging time for PSG, with the appointment of Laurent Blanc as the head coach receiving mixed reactions, the departure of Carlo Ancelotti, and concerns about the team’s recruitment for the upcoming season. The situation has led to speculation about potential challenges and uncertainties within the club.
