The war of words between Valencia and their French international defender Adil Rami came to a head on Friday as the club announced the player's suspension for a week without pay.
.
Valencia opened disciplinary proceedings against Rami last week after he criticised coach Miroslav Djukic and his teammates in a radio interview.
.
The club banned him after a meeting with Rami and his lawyers in which the player "demonstrated regret for his declarations," the La Liga club said in a statement.
.
"Independently of the sanction, Valencia and Adil Rami have agreed to work together to find a satisfactory solution for both parties," they added.
.
Rami's scathing remarks set him on a collision course with club management.
