Laurent Blanc has said he was upset but not shocked by Serge Aurier's social media outburst in February as the right-back made his return to Paris Saint-Germain training.
Aurier, 23, made disparaging remarks about Blanc and several of his PSG teammates during an ill-advised Periscope session.
The Ivory Coast defender made a public apology after being suspended by the club and he was then forced to train with the French champions' reserve team for three weeks.
Aurier was only given a chance to make amends after a meeting with Blanc and PSG confirmed that the former Toulouse player had returned to first-team training on Thursday afternoon.
Speaking to France Info radio station earlier on Thursday, Blanc said he had not been shocked by his right back's comments.
"Shocked, no," the former France boss said. "You know that nothing shocks me anymore.
"Hurt, yes. Hurt because I honestly think that this guy did not choose his words carefully ... So it was necessary simply to remind him."
Aurier's suspension meant he missed both of PSG's games against Chelsea in the Champions League round of 16 but he could now be back in contention for their quarterfinal tie against Manchester City.
Ahead of Aurier's return to training at PSG, Blanc said he could not yet confirm whether the player had understood the message that the club had delivered to him.
"I don't know," Blanc said. "I hope he has. I'm not sure. I told him what I had to say and that's why I wanted to meet him.
"I didn't want to meet him to hear what he had to say to me. I wanted to meet him so that he would listen to what I had to say.
"He's rejoining the squad and he should be considered as a squad player. Nothing more, nothing less."
Since being punished by the club, Aurier has played one game with PSG's youth team, who play in the French fourth division.
He also started both of the Ivory Coast's Africa Nations Cup qualifiers against Sudan last month.
