Alarm bells at Racing over possible ban for Costas | OneFootball

Racing, celebrating their heroic qualification to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores, is already thinking about their next match against Argentinos, this Sunday in La Paternal. Meanwhile, there is concern among the club’s management about a possible sanction for Gustavo Costas.

The coach exploded at Darío Herrera over the penalty given for Gabriel Rojas’ foul on Alfio Oviedo during the defeat against Tigre. “Thief, thief,” he repeatedly shouted at the referee.

According to reports, Gustavo Costas could receive a harsh punishment of a four-match suspension, with no possibility of paying a fine. In fact, as he is a repeat offender, it is expected that he will receive at least a two-match suspension.

On the other hand, Darío Herrera also reported his son, Federico Costas, in the midst of the scandal. In this scenario, if the harsh punishment and suspension for Costas are confirmed, it remains uncertain who will be primarily responsible for the team in the match against Argentinos. Gonzalo Costas (his son) and Francisco Bersce are his other assistant coaches.

A month ago, the Disciplinary Tribunal punished him for his heated reaction against Nicolás Lamolina in the defeat against Barracas Central: he received a one-match suspension but paid a fine of $483,000, which allowed him to be on the bench against Belgrano. Additionally, he is required to take a training or awareness course related to his role.

This recent incident works against the manager of La Academia. Everything indicates that he will receive a harsh punishment and will not be able to coach the team in the match against Argentinos in La Paternal, this Sunday at 16:15, for the sixth round of the Torneo Clausura.
