Two-match ban for Hoeness, Mihajlovic
Afp, Paris
European football's governing body, UEFA, has slapped two-match touchline bans on Bayern Munich general manager Uli Hoeness and Inter Milan's assistant coach Sinisa Mihajlovic after the pair became embroiled in an ugly pitchside row during a Champions League match.The duo were "banned by UEFA from exercising functions for two UEFA club competition matches." In the 85th minute of the Group B game between Inter and Bayern in Milan on September 27, "an aggressive verbal confrontation took place between Hoeness and Mihajlovic, following the red card given to Inter's Fabio Grosso", UEFA said. Both moved out of the technical zone and were sent to the stand by referee Steve Bennett. Grosso, who was dismissed after seriously fouling Bayern defender Willy Sagnol, was given a two-match ban, while Inter striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who was sent off for two yellow-card offences in the match, which Bayern won 2-0, was suspended for one game, UEFA said.
