Florian Thauvin Accuses Tigres of Unlawful Firing, Says Gignac Failed to Back Him

In a So Foot interview, the Lens forward alleges his contract was ended without cause, presenting his version of a failed Mexican stint.

Overview

  • He says André‑Pierre Gignac, a key factor in his 2021 move, did not show the solidarity he expected during his struggles at Tigres.
  • He claims the club abruptly ended his five‑year contract without justification and describes the dismissal as illegal.
  • He recounts telling OM president Pablo Longoria he would stay even as he was moving toward Tigres, which he now calls a major mistake.
  • He describes poor form and a disconnect with the coach in Monterrey before being pushed out about 18 months after arriving.
  • He says he rebuilt at Udinese and is thriving at RC Lens, with French media noting a September player‑of‑the‑month award and a national‑team recall.
