The Yugoslav Football Association (FSJ) has fined FK Partizan coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic €1,650 for insulting the referee during a recent Prva Savezna Liga match.
'Very emotional'
Tumbakovic was involved in an exchange with the official during last week's 3-1 defeat of FK Zemun. Tumbakovic said of his punishment: "I accept the fine. I am very emotional and I will always react this way. I cannot shut my mouth to injustice."
Poor organisation
Meanwhile, two other top-flight coaches have also been fined by the FSJ. FK Mladost Apatin and their coach, Dragi Bogic, were fined €1,000 after he insulted a referee and they were charged with poorly organising the recent game with FK Vojvodina. OFK Beograd coach Dragoljub Bekvalac was also fined €1,000 for his bad behaviour.
