Petke will miss up to three games and be fined up to $25,000. The RSL coach is also not to have contact with the team for a period of two weeks, according to ESPN, which first reported the story.
The extended punishment comes three days after the club announced Petke would miss Saturday’s game against FC Dallas due to an investigation into his conduct toward referees following the Leagues Cup game against Tigres UANL.
This is the third time in his RSL tenure that Petke has served a suspension. He served a two-game suspension in 2018 and missed one game in 2017.
