Maradona fined, suspended after altercation

Diego Maradona has been fined and suspended for the next three UAE Pro League matches following an altercation with another coach.

Maradona, who coaches UAE side Al Wasl, was involved in a after a heated argument with Al Ain boss Cosmin Olaroiu after the Argentine legend watched his side lose 2-0 in Friday.

Along with his suspension, the UAE Football Association (UAEFA) fined Maradona 2,070 euros for the incident, which is the latest in a running feud between the Argentine and Olaroiu, who was also sanctioned for his involvement.

The pair’s tense relationship has been brewing since November’s Emirates Cup clash between the two sides, where Maradona claimed Olaroiu aggravated him with his unacceptable goal celebrations.

The Argentine has also bemoaned the standard of officiating in UAE’s Pro League throughout the 2011-12 season, claiming last week there was an “agenda” against his side.
