A difficult affair in European football.
Eric Allhates, Antoine Griezmann's former adviser and the man who actually discovered him as a teenager, was arrested last night (Wednesday) by police in the French city of Bayonne, on charges of sexually assaulting minors.
The acts were reportedly committed in the 1990s and early 2000s and are attributed to a period as a youth coach at a club in the town of Bayonne.
According to sources close to the investigation, Olhates is suspected of attacking the same minor players who played under him.

In total, he accompanied the French star for six years, served as his advisor and is considered one of the factors that were also involved in his signing at Atletico Madrid in 2014.
