AfricaPress-Tanzania:<\/strong> FORMER Young Africans coach Luc Eymael has been banned for two years and fined 8m\/- by the Disciplinary Committee of the Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) for his recent inflammatory and racist comments.<\/p>\n

The announcement was made yesterday by TFF through their official Instagram page which has since attracted mixed reactions from people on social media outlets.<\/p>\n

Others are wondering about where the two years ban will be applied considering that he already left the country to his native country Belgium.<\/p>\n

Eymael, who was sent packing immediately after the incident, allegedly accused Yanga fans of being illiterate and that what they know is to screech like monkeys and bark like dogs.<\/p>\n

The 60-year-old Belgian was sacked by the Jangwani Street-based giants a week ago for alleged racist remarks when he compared the country\u2019s fans to monkeys in an astonishing tirade.<\/p>\n

Eymael made the remarks immediately after Yanga had secured a 1-1 draw with Mtibwa Sugar, which saw the team drop from the second spot in the 20-team league table, by tearing into the club\u2019s supporters, whom he claimed were ignorant about football and lambasted the conditions he had been working in since arriving in Tanzania.<\/p>\n

The TFF has now issued a statement confirming they have decided to ban the coach for two years and also fine him 8m\/- for his uncouth conduct.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe TFF disciplinary committee has decided to ban coach Eymael for two years and also fine him 8m\/- for the racist comments he made towards Yanga fans,\u201d stated the statement by TFF.<\/p>\n

Eymael has previously worked in South Africa, Egypt, Algeria, and Tunisia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
