| Albanian coach fined by UEFA for remarks made in 2004
Albania coach Otto Barić was fined €1,825 (CHF 3,000) by the UEFA Control and Disciplinary Committee for discriminatory remarks made in a 2004 newspaper interview.
The committee heard that Barić gave the interview to a Croatian newspaper whilst coach of the Croatian national team. The interview contained comments in relation to homosexuality.
No appeal could be made against the verdict in the case, which UEFA mentioned was submitted to them by the Football Against Racism in Europe (FARE) movement. The case was dealt with now as Barić had no coaching engagement between the posts in Croatia and Albania. |
