Yanga SC have fired coach Luc Eymael for allegedly racist remarks made on Wednesday, July 22, following a 1-1 draw with Mtibwa Sugar which saw the team drop to third position in the league last week.
The fans were unhappy with some of the decisions made in the game and the draw made the situation worse. The Belgian manager then allegedly called the fans dogs and baboons after the match.
His comments were not well received by the club's management and, as expected, action has been taken against the experienced coach.
