Ondrej Kudela BANNED for 10 matches by UEFA for his ‘racist behaviour’ towards Rangers’ Glen Kamara

Slavia Prague player Ondrej Kudela is slapped with a TEN-MATCH BAN for calling Rangers star Glen Kamara a ‘f***ing monkey’, with his victim banned for three matches for his ‘assault’ in tunnel brawl

Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela has been banned for 10 matches by UEFA for his ‘racist behaviour’ towards Rangers‘ Glen Kamara.

Kamara said he was the victim of ‘vile, racist abuse’ by Kudela during their Europa League last-32 game at Ibrox  on March 18, with the Rangers midfielder accusing his opponent of calling him a ‘f****** monkey’. 

But the Finnish midfielder has also been given a three-match ban for ‘assaulting another player’ after Slavia claimed Kudela was ‘cowardly beaten with fists in the face by Kamara’ in the tunnel after the full time whistle.

Kudela fiercely denied the racism allegations, insisting he told the player he was ‘a f***ing guy’. 

UEFA introduced a 10-match ban for discrimination in 2013. 

In August 2019, European football’s governing body took what was described as a ‘rare move’ by banning Kostyantyn Makhnovskyi, a Ukrainian goalkeeper for Latvian side Ventspils, for 10 matches for racism. 

It came after unspecified racist conduct by Makhnovskyi in a Europa League second qualifying round game against Gzira in Malta.
