Former Liverpool and Crystal Palace defender Mamadou Sakho has left Montpellier after a physical altercation with manager Michel Der Zakarian at the training ground.
The France international was suspended from the club after the incident on 24 October, which saw Sakho grab his 60-year-old manager by the collar and knock him to the ground, according to L’Equipe.
The Ligue 1 side have now confirmed that after ’10 days of reflection, the parties have, in good faith, agreed to put an end to the contractual relationship which bound them.’
The 33-year-old has now left the club, posting a statement on social media which read: ‘You have to know how to leave the table when respect is no longer served.
‘Following the incident that took place last week at the training centre and for which I decline all responsibility, I have decided on this day of 02/11/2023 to end my collaboration with Montpellier Herault Sports Club.
‘I spent two years in this family club where I took pleasure to share my high-level experience with my teammates and my “little brothers” from the centre of training.
At the same time, I thank them for their support as well as the medical staff without forgetting the supporters who appreciated my time at the club.
