Italian Football Coach Banned For Head-butting Rival At End Of Serie C Match (Video)

By

Italian Serie C team Lucchese coach Giancarlo Favarin has been slapped with a five-month ban by the Serie C disciplinary tribunal after he head-butted a member of the opposing team's staff. He also told a player to break an opponent's legs.
Footage of the match showed the shaven-headed Favarin knocking the daylights out of Gaetano Mancino, assistant coach of rivals Alessandria, with a headbutt during a brawl at the end of a 2-2 draw between their teams on Sunday.

Mancino was caught off-balance and knocked to the ground by the blow.

The Italian manager, 60, lost his cool in the sixth minute of the added time in the match even as his team had risen from a 2-0 deficit to make it 2-2 in the 93rd minute of the match.

Serie C's disciplinary tribunal said in a statement that Favarin made "blasphemous remarks" during the match and "invited his own player to 'break the legs' of an opponent."

He also "began a slanging match with a member of the opposing team's staff at the peak of which he hit the latter with a violent head butt, making him fall to the ground ".

Mancino, meanwhile, was given a two-match ban for "offensive and provocative behaviour towards the coach of the rival team during the match."

Favarin has now come out and apologised for his behaviour but mentioned that he had suffered provocations from the beginning of the game.

"I have always believed in football as a driver of principles and values for which I have always maintained attitudes and healthy behaviors. For this reason, today, I'm apologizing to everyone, opponents, fans and society for yesterday's serious and unjustified, which has nothing to do with football and sport.

"Despite being experiencing a moment of particular nervous stress, for the months experienced with difficulty and for the provocations suffered from the beginning of the game, never ever this unfortunate episode, of which I take every responsibility, should have occurred," Favarin apologised on the club's official Facebook page.

The ban on Favarin will last till June 30, 2019, which means he will miss the rest of the season.

According to InfoMigrants, Nigerian women are at growing risk from traffickers in Germany who exploit and engage them in prostitution. Read the full report below by InfoMigrants. The new prostitute protection law in Germany was meant to identify victims of human trafficking – most of them migrant women. More than 18 months after the law came into effect, thousands continue to be targeted for exploitation, and the risk for Nigerian women seems to be increasing. There are campervans parked by the roadside. Some have hearts painted on them, one says “girls, girls” in red letters. It’s an easy matter for someone to stop for a quick transaction in one of these Love-Mobiles – sex with one of the “girls” in exchange for the going rate. Prostitution is mainly legal in Germany, as are these mobile brothels. But many of the women in the business – including those working from the Love-Mobiles – are victims of illegal human trafficking. Most of the women are from Eastern Europe or Nige

FULL TEXT: A sacrifice for our new political order – Ezekwesili

“When the ACPN leadership approached me in a series of visits to appeal that I run for office on their platform, the party appeared to be a good fit. It was founded by some disgruntled PDP members some years ago, but when its prime founder decided to return to the PDP, a core of its membership refused to move back with him. I was told that they stayed back because of their opposition to the ways of the PDP. Considering my vocal disapproval of the PDP and the APC, I admired the ACPN’s decision to stand firm and refusal to be co-opted.” It has been an interesting one week since I made the tough but necessary decision to suspend my campaign for the presidency. I have been truly overwhelmed by the reactions to my announcement from Nigerians. Even in airports outside the country as I travelled last week, Nigerians walked up to me with questions, concerns, encouragement, and motivation. I also saw disappointment by some who had poured their hearts and hopes into actualising our mission
