The former coach of Olympique de Marseille and Stade Rennais lost his temper at the end of the match (1-1), trying to confront Alberto Valentim, the opposing coach.

Sampaoli was held back by some of his players and security officers to prevent him from confronting Valentim.

Looking forward to the reunion...
