Atletico Madrid coach Diego Simeone has been banned for eight matches as a result of his mis-conduct during the Supercopa de Espana clash with Real Madrid.
Simeone bluntly refused to heed calls from fourth official Antonio Santos to leave his position in the crowd during the second half. He thereafter,patted [same] fourth official on the back of the head after a heated argument [between the two].
Here's what happened in pictures :
Antonio Santos and Simeone arguing heatedly......
Then very angry Simeone pats (or should I say slapped) Antonio at the back of the head....
He was finally sent off the pitch,by the ref (Fernandez Borbalan) and he left,(though angrily)
BREAKDOWN OF DIEGO SIMEONE'S PUNISHMENT :
Four games ban : For tapping the back of the lines man's (Antonio Santos) head
Two games ban : For protesting excessively over decisions taken by the ref. as a result of his misconduct.
One game ban : For applauding his sending-off from the football pitch
One game ban : For remaining in the stands instead of leaving the stadium,after his sending-off
A total fine of €4,805 : To be payed by Simeone for the incident
A total fine of €2,800 : To be paid by Atletico Madrid club
Simeone is also banned from sitting on the bench or coming close to the touchline during matches,he will replaced [for now] by assistant coach Germain Burgos,while he serves his suspension.
