Barcelona confirmed on Friday they plan to appeal coach Ronald Koeman’s two-match touchline ban.
Koeman has been sanctioned after being sent off in the second half of Thursday’s 2-1 defeat to Granada. The referee’s report stated he was handed his marching orders for saying, “What a character.”
The Barca boss is now due to be banned from the bench for key games against Valencia on Sunday and Atletico Madrid on May 8 unless the appeal proves successful.
Koeman made it clear after the match he was not happy with the decision and felt he had done nothing wrong.
