Former Crawley Town FC manager John Yems has been banned from English soccer until June of 2024 for his racist behavior.
An independent commission banned Yems earlier this month after he was found to have credibly committed at least a dozen instances of racist conduct toward players he coached. The investigation into Yems’ conduct began in May after he was suspended in late April following “serious and credible” accusations of racist behavior.
Shortly after another investigation began by the English players’ association when numerous Crawley Town players came forward with allegations against Yems, the fourth-tier club parted ways with him on May 6, 2022.
