Former Kenya and Burkina Faso head coach Paul Put has been slapped with a life ban by Guinea Football Association.
The Belgian who terminated his contract with the Football Kenya Federation for greener pastures in the West Africa country has been banned from all football-related activities by the Feguifoot’s ethics commission for “breach of the institution’s code of ethics and discipline.”
Put, 63, guided Guinea to the 2019 Africa Cu of Nations, but he was shown the door thereafter despite taking the Syli Nationale to the group of 16.
Put, who was also fined 100,000 Euros, was sacked in July on allegations of ‘atmosphere of mistrust’.
But his coaching career could be over after he was handed a life ban while Guinea’s vice president, Amadou Diaby was banned for seven years and a fine of 25,000 Euros slapped on his head.
“We will contest this decision to clear the name of Amadou even if it means going to the international body tasked with sports litigations, Amadou’s lawyer, Ibrahim Malick was quoted by the BBC.
Put is yet to comment on the matter.
This is the second ban for the embattled Belgian who was slapped with a three-year ban for match-fixing.
Put was found guilty by the Belgian FA for two counts of match-fixing in 2009 while he was coaching Lierse.
Put, who has also coached The Gambia, joined Kenya’s Harambee Stars in November 2017 but resigned three months later only to take up a job in Guinea.
