Former Brazil defender turned manager Cris causes uproar with misogynistic comments during pep talk

CHATEAUROUX, France — Former Brazil center back Cris, now the manager of third-tier French club La Berrichonne de Châteauroux, has offered apologies for the misogynistic comments he made in front of his players during a pep talk last week. The club said on Wednesday it regrets the words used by Cris “in a private location” but supported the coach because “his words do not reflect Cris’ human and professional values.” Last-place Châteauroux travelled to Quevilly-Rouen on Friday and secured an important 2-1 win. The club said that Cris offered apologies for his “clumsy” words and published a statement from the coach. “However, Cris has always shown great respect for the club, its players and supporters,” Châteauroux said.
