Ibrahim Tanko, head coach of Accra Lions, has found himself in trouble following comments he made about the referees during his team’s recent match against Asante Kotoko. The remarks, which have drawn scrutiny, suggest that Tanko may have violated rules that protect the integrity of the game by casting doubt on the fairness of officiating. The disciplinary committee has given him until Thursday, October 10, 2024, to respond to the charges. In football, players and coaches must tread carefully when discussing referees and officials, as their words can impact the perception of the sport. Tanko now has the opportunity to clarify his stance and avoid further sanctions.
