Ex-PSG boss Kombouare calls for Ligue 1 strike

The decision to end the Ligue 1 season prematurely should be met with strike action, says former PSG and Toulouse head coach Antoine Kombouare.

Former Paris Saint-Germain and Toulouse coach Antoine Kombouaré has suggested Ligue 1 players stage strike action if the French Professional Football League (LFP) does not agree to a 22-team division for 2020-21.

France's top-flight season was cancelled at the end of last month due to the coronavirus pandemic, with PSG awarded their seventh title in eight years on a point-by-game basis and Toulouse and Amiens relegated.

Kombouaré served as Toulouse coach between October and January this term but was sacked after a run of 10 consecutive defeats in all competitions that culminated in a Coupe de France loss against fourth-tier outfit Saint-Pryve Saint-Hilaire.

The 56-year-old's son Yann is an administrative director at Amiens, who this weekend formally launched legal action to contest their relegation.
