The Head coach for the Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC, Vladislua Viric, has been handed a ban and a fine of GH¢5,0000.00 by the Ghana Football Association after being found guilty of misconduct concerning a post-match fight in the recently ended season.
He was charged on three counts of misconduct on July 6, after a fight at the end of the Ghana Premier League match between Dreams FC and Berekum Chelsea at the Theatre of Dreams Dawu.
The fight between Viric and Berekum Chelsea assistant coach Abdul Hanan-Abu saw the latter being hospitalised.
The GFA’s Disciplinary Committee (DC) in their verdict stated that: “In a Ghana Premier League game involving Dreams FC and Berekum Chelsea at the Theatre of Dreams in July, Viric exhibited improper behaviour towards the assistant coach of Chelsea (Abdul Hanan-Abu) around the dressing room area, a conduct which in the opinion of the association isn’t gentlemanly and likely to bring the game into disrepute.”
Coach Viric also exhibited devious behaviour towards the Berekum Chelsea assistant coach by punching and slapping him.
The Serbian Coach pleaded guilty to the charges and asked for leniency from the Committee.
The Disciplinary Committee found Vladislua Viric guilty of the charges and therefore imposed a three-match on him, beginning from the start of the 2021/22 football season.
