Maradona banned for outburst

Argentina coach Diego Maradona has been banned from football for two months by Fifa for his furious outburst after last month’s victory over Uruguay.

Maradona, under pressure in the run-up to the match, directed an expletive-laden tirade, broadcast on live TV, at reporters and critics after the game.

The ban will run from 15 November to 15 January 2010, meaning his role as coach at the World Cup will not be affected.

He could, however, miss a home international friendly against the Czech Republic scheduled for 16 December, although the match has yet to be confirmed.
