Former PSG midfielder Thiago Motta was sent off during his first game in charge of the club's Under-19s team.

Motta racked up seven red cards over his playing career and felt the wrath of the officials again during his side's friendly defeat to Odense.

The 35-year-old was forced to pick a depleted side, with a number of his Under-19 regulars on tour with the senior squad in Asia, and seemingly took exception to several refereeing decisions.

After berating the officials at half-time, Motta was dismissed by the referee and was forced to watch the second half from the stands.
