UEFA has suspended a Romanian football referee until the end of the current season for “inappropriate behaviour” in a match last December between Turkish club Basaksehir and France’s Paris St Germain (PSG).
UEFA said in a statement on Monday that Sebastian Coltescu had been suspended for “inappropriate behaviour during a UEFA match” and had been ordered to “attend an educational programme before 30 June 2021”.
The European football body launched proceedings in February against Coltescu after Basaksehir claimed he used a racial slur to identify Pierre Achille Webo, their assistant manager, during a match against (PSG).
Webo, a former Cameroon international, said Coltescu had disrespected him by referring to him as “the Black one”.
