Marseille terminate Patrice Evra’s contract following ban from European football

Patrice Evra has been sacked by Marseille.

The development relates to the incident which saw the former Manchester United full-back aim a kick at one of the French club's supporters prior to a Europa League match with Portuguese club, Vitoria Guimaraes, last week. Shortly before Marseille confirmed the club had terminated Evra's contract, it was confirmed the player had been handed a seven-month ban from Uefa competitions, as well as a €10,000 fine. A statement posted on the club's website and social media channels then made clear that Evra, who joined the club from Juventus last January, had been released - his contract terminated by mutual consent. https://twitter.com/OM_English/status/929031581725003777
