The Gambia Football Federation (GFF) has announced it has banned Serrekunda United Football Club Coach Modou Njie and Team Manager Ebrima Njie for four games, after they were sent off against Bombada Football Club.
The GFF, who made the announcement through its weekly newsletter, said the duo was sent for an early berth for persistently using abusive language on the match official in the game played at the Box Bar Mini-Stadium in Brikama.
“Modou Njie and Ebrima Njie are suspended for four consecutive matches with immediate effect. They are not to sit or stand behind the team bench nor are they allowed to enter the dressing room before, during and after the games. Failure to comply will lead to a severe disciplinary action,” the GFF stressed.
The Federation added that Bubacarr Sawo, a player of the same team, was also sent off for receiving a second yellow card, and as a result, he is unqualified to play the subsequent match of his team.
In a similar move, the GFF said it has suspended Saikouba Nyassi, a player of second division side Immigration, for two games after he was sent off for serious foul play against Red Hawks at the KG5 Mini-Stadium in Banjul.
