Red Star manager Habib Beye condemns racist abuse from Nancy fans in third tier | OneFootball

Following a 1-1 draw in the third tier between AS Nancy and Red Star FC, allegations of racist abuse were made by Red Star manager Habib Beye, as reported by L’Équipe. There were several heated confrontations between the two teams, and Red Star captain Cheick Ndoye (37) was seen throwing a bottle into the stands in frustration. Habib Beye then spoke to Nancy manager Benoît Pedretti and the referee to voice his frustration.

“Three of my players reported monkey cries to me, and we let things like that happen. It’s all trivialised. It’s always the same. It’s unacceptable and I see Nancy players going to greet their supporters afterwards? I’ll always fight against these things. I hope there will be sanctions,” said Beye to Canal+ after the game.

After seven straight wins, Red Star were held to a 1-1 draw by Nancy on Wednesday evening. Les Audoniens opened the scoring on the 8th minute via Achille Anani, before Bouiaud equalised for the hosts. A large scuffle was seen between both sets of players and staff following the final whistle.
