Gloves off as club prez klaps TV man

– FC Sion president Christian Constantin physically attacked a television commentator following a league match on Thursday, then said he had “sorted out” a difference between the pair.

Part of the attack was caught on camera and showed commentator Rolf Fringer, already on the ground, being slapped on the head by the 60-year-old Constantin, shortly after Sion’s 2-1 win at Lugano.

Soon afterwards, Constantin told cable broadcaster Teleclub that Fringer, a former coach of the Swiss national side, had criticised him and treated him badly earlier in the week.

“Now, I’ve sorted that out,” Constantin said. “I grabbed him and I kicked him in the backside. When you are attacked, you have to defend yourself.”

The Swiss Football League confirmed it would open disciplinary proceedings into the incident. – Reuters
