Assistant coach of Hearts of Oak, Gazale Abdulai, has criticized a disciplinary decision handed down by the Ghana Football Association.
The GFA Disciplinary Committee imposed an additional three-match ban and a GHS 5,000 fine after finding him guilty of misconduct during a league fixture against Medeama SC.
The new punishment comes on top of an earlier four-match suspension.
Reacting to the ruling, Abdulai described the process as unjust.
“They said I behaved unsportingly and was given four matches, but later they added three more matches. I’m not a lawyer, but I know what they did was wrong, he told Ghanasportspage.com.
“You can’t ban me for seven matches after one offence,” he added.
He also denied allegations that he assaulted a ball retriever during the match.
“All I’m saying is that if you use the phrase ‘unsporting behaviour,’ it means I didn’t conduct myself properly, but another person should still be safe.
“I didn’t hit the boy, but they coached him to speak against me.”
