Suspended sentence for Chetti over sexual assault

The 28-year-old left-back was sentenced after admitting touching a woman in a nightclub on 4th December.

The incident involving Chetti and the woman led directly to the resignation of Abdel Bouhazama after the then-Angers coach made inappropriate comments in support of the player.

"It's not that serious, we have all touched girls," Bouhazama told his players in a pre-match team talk, according to sources, to justify the inclusion of Chetti in the line-up.

Chetti, capped seven times by Algeria, joined Angers on a four-year deal in July 2022. Angers, bottom of Ligue 1, are 15 points from safety and winless in their past 21 games in the elite French league.
