CONCACAF clears Canada coach Marsch of any wrongdoing but fines Canada Soccer
CONCACAF has cleared Canada coach Jesse Marsch of any wrongdoing but fined Canada Soccer for incidents at Canada’s opening Gold Cup game last week in Vancouver.
Marsch missed the first two games of the tournament, serving a ban arising from being shown a red card in March at the CONCACAF Nations League third-place match. He watched Canada’s 6-0 win over No. 75 Honduras on June 17 with other team officials from a suite in Vancouver’s B.C. Place Stadium.
After the game, CONCACAF announced its Disciplinary Committee had initiated disciplinary proceedings into Marsch and Canada Soccer to see if they had “disregarded regulations applicable to suspended match officials and used offensive language toward CONCACAF match officials.”
Late Monday, CONCACAF handed down its ruling.
