Serbian coach penalized

Yesterday the disciplinary committee of Slovenia FA (SFA) has suspended Olimpija Ljubljana's coach Marko Nikolic for seven games and fined him 1500 euros. SFA stated that 'clear racism' is the reason behind the sanction. 
Last Sunday against Zavrc, Nikolic called Blessing Eleke 'black idiot' because he celebrated the equalizing goal of his team too long. Later on he apologized to the Nigerian striker for his outburst. The goal was scored deep into injury time, in the ninety-third minute as the game ended 1:1.
As seven more rounds remain until the end of Slovenian championship this means that the Serbian trainer cannot help the club to win the title. Currently Olimpija lead the table and are two points ahead of second placed NK Maribor. Despite the ban Marko Nikolic will remain coaching Olimpija Ljubljana's team.
