Tanzania coach Adel Amrouche has received an eight-match ban from the Confederation of African Football (CAF) after making derogatory comments about Morocco.
“I can confirm that the coach of Tanzania (Adel Amrouche) has been suspended for eight matches after comments he made about Moroccan officials in a TV interview,” said the official.
VerseSports reports that Amrouche, who hails from Algeria, will miss the remainder of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament in Ivory Coast due to the suspension.
In a television interview, he criticized Moroccan officials, suggesting they influence the scheduling and refereeing of matches involving the Moroccan national team.
“The Morocco federation is a proven power in the world of African football. Morocco manages African football,”
“We wanted to play a World Cup qualifier against Morocco last November in the afternoon, but CAF scheduled the match for the evening,” Amrouche said.
Before being hired by Tanzania last year, the 55-year-old coached Equatorial Guinea, Burundi, Kenya, Libya and Botswana and clubs in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Algeria.
Tanzania lost 3-0 to Morocco on Wednesday.
The CAF disciplinary committee imposed the ban, and Tanzania will continue their AFCON campaign without Amrouche, facing Zambia and the Democratic Republic of Congo in Group F.
