Former Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho have left Montpellier with immediate effect after a reported physical altercation with manager Michel Der Zakarian.
According to L'Equipe, Sakho grabbed Der Zakarian by the collar and knocked him to the ground in front of several witnesses during a training ground bust-up.
The confrontation was said to have been sparked when Sakho was not given a foul by Der Zakarian during training and the Armenian called him a 'cry baby', and Sakho proceeded to leave the training pitch after layers and staff members quickly stepped in to prevent the situation escalating further.
