Abdel Bouhazama has resigned as coach of French first division football club SCO Angers after making a sexist remark.
A player is accused of sexually harassing a woman in a discotheque, and according to French media, Bouhazama is attempting to defend him.
This was by saying: “It’s not bad, we’ve all grabbed girls before.”
The club condemned the remark on Tuesday and Bouhazama has apologised.
The coach was under pressure anyway, with the club bottom of the table.(dpa/NAN)
