CAF Considers Punishing Espérance Coach Patrice Beaumelle After His Statements Against Refereeing
Monday 20-04-2026
The head coach of Tunisian club Esperance, Patrice Beaumelle, is facing potential sanctions from the Confederation of African Football due to his statements following the team's match against Mamelodi Sundowns in the semi-finals of the CAF Champions League.

Esperance was eliminated from the tournament after losing the second leg, allowing the South African team to advance to the final.

Boumel expressed his objection to the refereeing decisions, asserting that the penalty awarded during the match had a decisive impact on the outcome.

The CAF Disciplinary Committee is expected to review the coach's statements to determine whether they contain any violations that warrant punishment.

If violations are confirmed, the coach may face disciplinary actions, including a financial fine or suspension for a number of matches.
