The Turkish coach has been handed a heavy suspension for his unsportsmanlike behavior during a Super Lig game.

Galatasaray coach Hasan Sas, known for his fiery temper, has been handed a 8-match suspension by the Professional Football Disciplinary Board (PFDK) on Thursday for unsportsmanlike conduct and attacking a security personnel during Galatsaray’s Super Lig fixture against Istanbul Basaksehir earlier this month.
