Heavy Ban Looms for Almeyda: Risk of Multi-Game Suspension (VIDEO)

Matías Almeyda faces a serious risk of suspension from matches due to his behavior after being sent off in Seville's match against Alavés. Seville drew 1-1, but the most worrying development is the potential punishment for the Argentinian coach. The dismissal was due to strong complaints about the refereeing, but also his behavior towards the refereeing team, including shouts of disapproval and gestures. According to the match report, Almeyda strongly protested the referee’s decisions and refused to leave the technical area despite repeated warnings. The punishment, expected to be announced on Wednesday, is estimated to be quite large, with the possibility of a suspension from many games. The fact that his team is close to the relegation zone of the league makes the situation even more difficult. The video that has been released clearly shows Almeyda’s behavior, which led to his dismissal. This attitude has provoked reactions and carries the risk of significant sanctions for the Seville coach.
