The club announced on Tuesday the dismissal of Ilyes Chetti (28), the left-back sentenced on April 6 to four months in prison suspended for sexual assault committed on December 4 in an Angevin nightclub.

If the story between the two parties ends on the ground, it continues behind the scenes. Angers has indeed been deprived of recruitment by FIFA (the International Federation) for the next two transfer windows because of irregularities in the transfer of Chetti, last summer. Originally, it was a dispute between the Algerian defender and his former club, Esperance Tunis. Angers has appealed and hopes that the latter will be suspensive in order to be able to recruit in the offseason.
As a reminder, the Ilyes Chetti affair had led to another when his coach Abdel Bouhazama, during a pre-match chat in Montpellier in early March, had told his players: "It's not bad, we have all already touched girls". This provoked a heated controversy that led to Bouhazama's resignation.
