Former PSG and Toulouse manager Antoine Kombouare has called on players to go on strike next season if Ligue 1 is not expanded to 22 clubs.
The French top division has abandoned the 2019-20 season following the coronavirus outbreak, with PSG declared champions and bottom two Amiens and Toulouse relegated.
This has drawn criticism across France with many feeling the league has acted rashly in calling a halt to the season so soon, and some clubs, including Amiens and Lyon, have threatened legal action.

Amiens have already confirmed they will fight the decision to relegate them to the second tier of French football, and have started an online petition to get support from fans and show there is a desire to restart the 2019-20 Ligue 1 campaign.
A statement published by Amiens said: “This decision is for our club, all our players, coaches, administrators, volunteers and supporters extremely fraught with consequences.
“Pending the publication of the minutes of the board of directors’ meeting, Amiens reserve the right to contest this decision, since sporting merit, in this particularly difficult period for all, should, on the contrary, have led the various decision-making bodies not to pronounce any relegation.”
