Morocco’s Amine Harit Dismisses Rumors of Tension with Coach Hervé Renard

An unnecessary controversy. This is how the player’s reaction, who did not hide his anger, could be summarized. Indeed, as internet users were able to see, a short video shows the player’s arrival at training, "refusing to shake hands" with the coach of the Atlas Lions, Hervé Renard, circulating on the web.

The video, as described by Hespress, shows "the AS Monaco player, Youssef Ait Bennasser, shaking hands with the coach of the Atlas Lions, and behind him, that of Schalke 04, Amine Harit, passing by and totally ignoring his coach". Which in turn sparked a lively controversy among the Lions’ supporters who, according to the media, "strongly criticized the player" for his "lack of respect" and his "lack of maturity".

To therefore clarify this situation which benefits the player’s detractors, Amine Harit broke his silence. On his status, the player posted a clear message: "Stop the false controversies! We had seen each other in the morning with the coach, and you can even see that he whispers a word to me as he passes by". This is indeed what a slow viewing of the video in question allows to observe.
