Racing Club have terminated the services of goalkeeping coach Juan Carlos Gambande after he was caught making a racist gesture towards Atletico Mineiro supporters.
Racing were knocked out of the Copa Libertadores round of 16 after suffering a 2-1 loss to Atletico at the Estadio Independencia in Belo Horizonte on Wednesday.
Lucas Pratto set up one and scored the other as Atletico booked a spot in the quarter-finals of South America’s most prestigious club tournament against fellow Brazilian outfit Sao Paulo.
Gambande was caught on camera making the gesture of peeling a banana and eating it in the direction of Atletico supporters, sparking outrage across the continent.
