⚖️ Sevilla lose Almeyda, RFEF hand him a seven-match ban | OneFootball

The Disciplinary Committee of the RFEF has issued a strong ruling against Matías Almeyda. The Sevilla FC coach has been suspended for a total of seven matches following the incidents that occurred in the last game against Deportivo Alavés.

The sanction is broken down into several infractions accumulated during the altercation. The Argentine manager receives two matches for repeated protests and an additional match for refusing to leave for the dressing rooms after being shown the red card.

The severity of the punishment increases with three matches imposed for showing disrespect to the refereeing team and one final match for conduct contrary to good sporting order. This accumulation of penalties is a heavy blow to the sporting plans of the Andalusian club.

This is the second time Almeyda has been sent off so far this season. It is worth remembering that he was already suspended for one match after being sent off for a double booking at the Santiago Bernabéu, although on that occasion the consequences were minimal.

Sevilla FC loses its leader on the bench for almost two months of official competition.
