The Disciplinary Committee confirmed his “vexatious and degrading treatment” towards players who had reported him
MADRID, 21 Dic. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Royal Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) has suspended the federative license of the Alhama CF coach, Juan Antonio 'Randri' García, for two years, as a result of his “vexatious and degrading treatment” towards several footballers who denounced him last season, and has also disqualified the technical director of the Murcia club, Tamara Ruiz García, for one year from any sports organization activity.
As FUTPRO reported this Thursday in a press release, the RFEF Disciplinary Committee “has definitively resolved” their complaints, “agreeing with FUTPRO.” “From our union we want to convey absolute satisfaction for protecting soccer players from unacceptable attitudes; these types of actions have no place in sport or society,” said the association of professional players.
“We hope that this resolution, together with the one presented by the ITSS, are the definitive step for League F to speak out, setting a precedent. As we have always conveyed from our union, it is very important that all institutions in our country speak out before cases like this and fight in the same direction, only in this way will inappropriate behavior be eradicated,” the note added.
From FUTPRO they advocated continuing “working tirelessly to guarantee a safe and respectful sporting environment for all players.” “We will always go to the last resort to protect them,” the note said, specifying that 'Randri' García had engaged in “vexatious and degrading treatment towards the majority of the players, affecting their dignity and creating a hostile work environment.”
The RFEF also confirmed the “repeated behavior over time” of the Alhama coach during the last season, “with indiscriminate actions towards the players.” And Tamara Ruiz corroborated his “passivity in the face of the coach's inappropriate behavior,” having participated “in inconsiderate actions toward the players, including the dissemination of an inappropriate photograph.”
In addition, the RFEF established a financial penalty of 6,001 euros on the Murcia club itself for “lack of preventive and reactive actions against the coach's persistent behavior.” All parties have 10 days to appeal to the Appeals Committee.
