ISL suspends Atletico de Kolkata coach Jose Molina for one match!

Atletico de KolkataThe Indian Super League yesterday announced that they have automatically suspended Atletico de Kolkata head coach Jose Molina for one ISL match for an expulsion and repeatedly protesting against the decisions of the referee in his side’s 0-1 loss to Mumbai City FC at the Rabindra Sarobar Stadium in Kolkata on Tuesday, October 25 night.

In fact Jose Molina was sent off from the field of play and he immediately went across to the match referee in the first minute of second half added time.

“(ATK) Coach Molina was sent off from the field of play and immediate surrounds by the Match Referee during 90+1 minute of the game during Hero ISL Match 23 (25th October 2016, Atletico de Kolkata vs Mumbai City FC) for repeatedly protesting against referee’s decisions,” the ISL said in a statement.

“Additionally, AIFF Disciplinary Code (Article 19) states that an expulsion automatically incurs suspension from the team’s subsequent match,” it added.

Due to the suspension, Jose Molina will now miss Atletico de Kolkata’s next match away to NorthEast United FC tomorrow, October 28. He will be allowed to sit in the stands, but not in the dugout and coaching area, while also being not allowed into the dressing room before and during the match.
