A French football player has been suspended indefinitely after calling his coach a “faggot” Paris St Germain player, Serge Aurier, described coach Laurent Blanc as a “faggot” when he was asked by a fan about his relationship with his teammates and coach. The football star made the comments when he was interviewed two days before a Championship league match between Paris St Germain and Chelsea. Nassar Al-Khelaifi, President of Paris St Germain says the club is a “Very strong institution that nobody can touch”, insisting he would not allow this type of behaviour. Aurier later apologised for his comments saying; “What I did was really stupid and inexcusable. I really regret what happened.” He went on to thank coach Laurent Blanc for “all that he has done for me at PSG”.
