On Wednesday, the Championship Competition Committee of the Spanish league decided to impose a one-match disqualification on Barcelona's head coach Gerardo Martino.
This means that the Catalan team's strategist will not be able to lead his players in the match against Almeria, which will be played at Camp Nou stadium in Barcelona over the weekend.
This disciplinary sanction was imposed on the Argentine for engaging in a heated argument with the assistant coach of the opposing team during the 24th round match against Real Sociedad in San Sebastian. The match referee witnessed this and promptly showed a red card to Barcelona's head coach. This conflict took place during halftime and was included in the match protocol.
Barcelona officially announced that they do not intend to appeal the decision.
