Indian Super League franchise Odisha FC have fired their head coach Stuart Baxter after making an appalling rape comparison in the post-match interview.
Stuart Baxter had said on Star Sports, “You need decisions to go your way and they didn’t. I don’t know when we’re going to get a penalty. I think one of my players would have to rape someone or get raped himself if he was going to get a penalty.”
Odisha FC had apologised for the statement last night itself via a tweet stating, “It is completely unacceptable whatever the context and does not reflect the values of the club.”
“We‚ at Odisha FC‚ unreservedly apologise and the club management will handle this matter internally.”
On Tuesday morning, Odisha FC took the only possible decision by firing Baxter for the unacceptable comparison and they said, “Odisha FC has decided to terminate Head Coach, Stuart Baxter’s contract with immediate effect.”
“The interim coach for the remainder of the season will be announced soon.”
