Former Premier League star Benjamin Mendy has been let go by Swiss side FC Lausanne-Sport after his off-field antics reportedly breached club discipline. The 29-year-old defender, who previously played for Manchester City, joined the Swiss Super League team last summer but has now had his contract terminated.
Party Lifestyle Costs Mendy His Career Revival
Sources close to the club suggest Mendy's late-night partying habits became a growing concern for management. Despite being given a chance to revive his career after his acquittal in a high-profile legal case in England, the Frenchman allegedly failed to meet the club's behavioral expectations.
A Second Chance Gone Wrong
Mendy's move to Switzerland was seen as an opportunity to rebuild his professional reputation after his Manchester City contract expired. However, his time at Lausanne has ended abruptly after just one season, with the club opting to release him from his two-year deal.
Key issues reported:
- Repeated late-night partying during the season
- Missed team commitments
- Growing frustration from coaching staff
What Next for the Troubled Defender?
With this latest setback, questions arise about Mendy's future in professional football. Once considered one of the most promising full-backs in Europe, his career has been derailed by both legal troubles and now disciplinary issues.
Football pundits suggest this could mark a turning point for the World Cup winner, who may need to demonstrate greater professionalism if he hopes to continue playing at the highest level.
