Alarm bells at Racing over possible ban for Costas | OneFootball

Racing, celebrating their heroic qualification to the quarterfinals of the Copa Libertadores, is already thinking about their next match against Argentinos, this Sunday in La Paternal. Meanwhile, there is concern within the management about the possible sanction against Gustavo Costas.

The coach exploded against Darío Herrera over the penalty by Gabriel Rojas on Alfio Oviedo in the defeat against Tigre. "Thief, thief," he repeatedly shouted at the referee.

According to reports, Gustavo Costas could face a harsh punishment of a four-match suspension, with no possibility of paying a fine. In fact, being a repeat offender, it is expected that he will receive at least a two-match suspension.

On the other hand, Darío Herrera also reported his son Federico Costas amid the scandal. In this scenario, if the harsh punishment and suspension for Costas are confirmed, it is uncertain who will be the main person responsible for the team in the match against Argentinos. Gonzalo Costas (his son) and Francisco Bersce are his other field assistants.

A month ago, the Disciplinary Tribunal punished him for his heated reaction against Nicolás Lamolina in the defeat against Barracas Central: he received a one-match suspension but paid a fine of $483,000, allowing him to be on the bench against Belgrano. Additionally, he is required to take a training or awareness course related to his role.

This recent precedent works against the coach of the Academy. Everything indicates that he will receive a harsh punishment and will not be able to lead the team in the match against Argentinos in La Paternal, on Sunday from 16:15, for the sixth round of the Torneo Clausura.
