NYON, Switzerland -- UEFA has banned FC Porto coach Jesualdo Ferreira from taking charge of his team in Wednesdays Champions League quarter-final against Manchester United. Ferreira cannot contact his players before or during the match, or take his place on the touchline, UEFA said Tuesday. UEFA originally suspended him for two matches after he gestured toward the referee when a Porto goal was disallowed during a Champions League round of 16 match against Atletico Madrid on Feb. 24. Porto appealed and Ferreira was allowed to perform his duties as coach in Manchester last Tuesday when Porto earned a 2-2 draw in the first leg match. UEFAs appeals body reduced the sentence to a one-match touchline ban and deferred the second match suspension for a probationary period of two years. In a statement, UEFA said Ferreira "was in breach of the principles of sportsmanship. The verdict takes account of his unblemished disciplinary record." The appeal panel upheld a 25,000 euros (C$40,200) fine imposed on the Portuguese champion for its supporters behaviour in Madrid, where they chanted insults, threw missiles and set off fireworks in the Vicente Calderon stadium. Porto drew that match 2-2 and then held Atletico to a scoreless draw in Portugal to progress on the away goals rule, setting up a quarter-final meeting with defending champion United.
