Coach banned for Sane shove

Union Berlin coach Nenad Bjelica has been suspended for three matches by the German FA (DFB) yesterday, after shoving Bayern Munich winger Leroy Sane in the face. 

Bjelica shoved Sane twice during Wednesday’s 1-0 loss to the German champions in Munich, after the winger came to the sideline for a throw-in.

The Union boss was shown a straight red card over the incident.

The DFB sports tribunal yesterday imposed a three-match suspension, along with a fine of 25,000 euros for unsportsmanlike conduct. Union issued a statement in response saying it agreed to the punishment and would therefore not appeal. After the game, Bjelica said Sane “came and provoked me” but admitted “What I did shouldn’t be tolerated. I under-stand the red card.” — SuperSport.
