CAF bans the Senegal head coach for three matches and imposes a fine after a chaotic brawl during the AFCON final, signaling a zero-tolerance stance on sideline indiscipline.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has cracked the whip, handing a three-match ban and a $50,000 fine to the Senegal national team head coach following the chaotic scenes that marred the Africa Cup of Nations final.
The disciplinary committee found the coach guilty of "incitement and bringing the game into disrepute" after he was captured on camera aggressively confronting the referee following a controversial VAR decision in the dying minutes of the match. The fracas sparked a bench-clearing brawl between Senegalese and Moroccan officials, turning the showpiece event into a spectacle of shame.
"Football is a game of emotions, but there is a red line," read the CAF statement. "The behavior exhibited by the technical bench was unacceptable and dangerous." The ban means the coach will miss the opening qualifiers for the 2030 World Cup, a significant blow to the Teranga Lions' campaign.
While the Senegalese Football Federation has vowed to appeal, citing "provocation," the images of the coach being restrained by security have gone viral. For a team celebrated for its discipline and flair, the ban is a humiliating postscript to a tournament that promised so much but ended in acrimony.
