Kotoko coach Mariano Barreto banned by Ghana FA for misconduct

1 min read

The Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association have handed a two-match ban to Kotoko Coach Mariano Barreto for misconduct.

Barreto was charged for a breach of Article 38(8)(c) and 34(6)(d) of the GFA Premier League Regulations, 2019 in respect of violations of the Associations Regulations over a comment made after his side’s League match against Legon Cities.

The Portuguese made verbal offensive statements about the performance of the referees by stating that the referee only makes mistakes against Asante Kotoko SC, a statement made without proof and brings the game into disrepute.

Despite not pleading guilty to the charges, the former Black Stars Coach has been handed a two-match suspension in accordance with Article 6(2)(a) of the GFA Disciplinary Code.

In addition, a fine of GHc3,000 has been imposed on him in accordance with Article 6.1(c) of GFA Disciplinary Code.

The situation means the 64-year-old will not be on the bench in Kotoko’s next two matches against Asokwa Deportivo in the MTN FA Cup as well as the League game against Elmina Sharks.
