Lyon sacked defender Marcelo for angering staff by farting in dressing room after heavy defeat


Last August, Brazilian centre-back Marcelo was mysteriously demoted to Lyon's reserve team despite having been a regular starter for the previous few years.

Now, it's emerging that the reason was the defender's inappropriate behaviour after a 3-0 defeat away at Angers - a game where Marcelo scored an own goal.

According to L'Equipe, the 34-year-old riled the staff by farting in the dressing room and laughing about it with his teammates.

After months in the reserve team, Marcelo had his contract with Lyon terminated in January. He then signed with Bordeaux who are bottom of Ligue 1 with two games to go.
