BREAKING: Marseille terminate Patrice Evra’s contract following UEFA ban

Marseille have terminated Patrice Evra’s contract ‘by mutual agreement’ following his 7-month ban from UEFA.

The former Manchester United and Juventus full-back was initially internally suspended by his club for the incident, which took place
prior to kick-off in a Europa League clash against Vitoria.
And just minutes after UEFA made public a season-long suspension for the player, Marseille in turn revealed his contract had been terminated “by mutual consent”.
Citing his “impeccable behaviour” since joining the Ligue 1 side from Juve in January 2017, L’OM nevertheless recognised the “irreparable” damage that had been caused by Evra’s attack on a fan.
Supporters’ indignation at the exuberant Evra came to a head at the weekend, when banners calling on him to “get out of the club” were shown at the Stade Velodrome ahead of a home clash with Caen.
