Mike Petke has been sacked as Real Salt Lake head coach after serving a three-match MLS ban for abusing a referee in a Leagues Cup fixture.
Petke was sent off following RSL's defeat to Tigres last month as he confronted the officials.
The coach was suspended for three MLS matches, three Leagues Cup matches and fined $25,000 for using "unacceptable and offensive language" and for his "repeated confrontational misconduct towards match officials".
Petke was also required to attend anger management, sensitivity and diversity training.
In addition, RSL suspended their coach without pay for two weeks.
