Olympique Lyonnais were knocked out by Fenerbahçe 1-2 on Wednesday in the Champions League play-off second leg, and Paulo Fonseca bristled when pressed on his bench and in-game decisions.
He faced the line of questioning without a smile, saying it was the same as ever and that speaking after the final whistle is easy, according to L'Équipe.
The Portuguese coach then offered a cutting rejoinder, suggesting the reason might be that he is a rubbish coach.
At the hour mark he made two changes, introducing Zachary Athekame and Kaïl Boudache. Minutes later VAR chalked off a Boudache strike, shortly after a Loïs Openda finish had been cancelled in similar fashion.
His irritation appeared to grow during the exchange, while his delivery remained terse.
