Mourinho would be proud: German coach banned after friendly | OneFootball

Star coach José Mourinho has, over the course of his illustrious career, been banned for the most bizarre reasons. We don't assume he's keeping track of what Dynamo Dresden is up to in their training camp. But if he were, he would probably be mighty proud.

Because their coach, Thomas Stamm, has now been banned by the DFB sports court for a friendly match (!). After all, the 42-year-old was guilty of the most heinous crimes.

During the test match against SV Ried in early July, the Dynamo coach complained to the referee about repeated fouls against his player Jonas Oehmichen - and stepped onto the field, by his own account, "maybe half a meter."

Too much for the referee, who showed Stamm the red card solely for the unauthorized entry onto the field. This decision alone caused bewilderment among the Saxons and their Austrian hosts.

But it really got crazy yesterday when the DFB announced the ban. For an incident that didn't even occur in Germany and a coach who had never been sent off before. At least: For the second division start against Fürth (Sunday, 1:30 PM), the red-carded coach is allowed to be on the sidelines. The next friendly match, however, the Dresden team will have to play without their coach.
