Evra exit

-

Patrice Evra was fired by Marseille on Saturday after being suspended by Uefa for all remaining European games this season for kicking a fan of the French club. The volatile defender was also fined 10,000 euros ($11,650) by Uefa. The 36-year-old Evra got into a verbal argument with Marseille supporters before a Europa League match against Portuguese club Vitoria on Nov. 2. He then aimed a kick at the head of one of the Marseille fans before being ushered away by a teammate. The Frenchman was sent off before the game.
