Maradona gets two-month ban for foul-mouthed outburst

• Diego Maradona punished for conduct after Argentina-Uruguay match • Coach apologises for tirade against critics A Fifa disciplinary committee has given the Argentina coach Diego Maradona a two-month ban “from all football related activity” and a 25,000 Swiss francs (£14,815) fine following his outburst at the end of his side’s World Cup qualifier against Uruguay last month. Maradona lashed out at his critics following his side’s 1-0 win in Montevideo on 14 October, which secured their place at next summer’s finals in South Africa. The 49-year-old apologised for his comments at the hearing in Zurich today but Fifa opted to impose the ban as well as the fine.
