India head coach Igor Stimac was on Friday received a two-match ban for his red-card offence following his srgument with match officials during the home side`s 1-1 draw against Kuwait in their last group match of the SAFF Championships football.
Besides the ban, Stimac was also fined USD 500 as the SAFF Disciplinary Committee deemed it a fit case for suspending him for more than one match. He was also handed a red card against Pakistan in India`s campaign opener on June 21 but in that case the matter was not referred to the SAFF Disciplinary Committee as the offence was deemed `less serious` and he had to sit out of the subsequent match against Nepal on June 24.
