Almería star Largie Ramazani has today learned the extent of the punishment handed down to him, by the RFEF.

This comes after Ramazani landed himself in hot water, owing to his actions after Almería’s most recent outing.

Introduced off the bench in his side’s La Liga clash with Villarreal, the Belgian was given his marching orders late on, for a pair of bookable offences.

And his dismissal ultimately cost Almería dear, the Spanish top-flight basement-dwellers on the receiving end of an injury-time winner by way of Alexander Sørloth.

Upon learning of as much, Ramazani then completely lost his composure, post-match.

The 23-year-old waited in the tunnel for referee Ortiz Arias to appear, before launching into a foul-mouthed tirade against the official.

Staff members were forced to step in to restrain Ramazani, but the damage, from a verbal standpoint at least, had long been done.

Amongst a host of explicit insults, the attacker is said to have labelled Arias a “F**king d**khead!”, “F**king c**t!” and a “F**king idiot!”

In turn, it should not come as a major surprise to hear of Ramazani being hit with a considerable ban.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF Disciplinary Committee have informed Almería that they will not be able to call on Ramazani for any of the club’s next five fixtures.

This consists of one game for his double yellow, and four for the former Manchester United talent’s post-match tirade.
