Germany coach Joachim Loew was suspended from working Thursday’s European Championship quarterfinal match against Portugal.

UEFA punished Loew on Wednesday for his sideline argument with a fourth official during a win over Austria.

Loew and Austria coach Josef Hickersberger were both given a one-game suspension Wednesday, two days after they were banished to the stands by the referee after they appeared to argue with the fourth official during Germany’s 1-0 group win. Austria has been eliminated from the tournament.
The ban for Loew prevents him from having any contact with his players from the moment they arrive at the stadium until after the match.

“I completely share the disappointment of the sports leadership of our national team and can very well understand that our federal coach regards himself as being unjustly treated,” German football association president Theo Zwanziger said. “I am certain that it will be tied to giving the team extra motivation for the match against Portugal and that they will want to have their coach back on the bench for the European Championship semifinals.”

Loew’s assistant, Hansi Flick, will likely take charge of the team in Basel, as he did for the remainder of Monday’s match.

Turkey goalkeeper Volkan Demirel was suspended for two matches after being ejected against the Czech Republic last week.

Demirel will miss the quarterfinal game here against Croatia on Friday night. The goalkeeper was sent off in the final minute of Turkey’s 3-2 win in Group A on Sunday in Geneva for knocking down striker Jan Koller. He then sat on the team’s bench in violation of FIFA rules.
The Turkish football federation was also fined $42,000 for improper conduct of its fans, players and officials.

“The sanction of the (fine) and the two-match suspension for the Turkey goalkeeper was linked to the fact that after getting a red card, he sat on the bench when he was supposed to be out of the technical area,” UEFA spokesman William Gaillard said. “And we had some problems with some Turkish fans trying to enter the pitch, and also the presence of about 25 unaccredited people after the game in the Turkish dressing room.”

Demirel and the federation have 24 hours to appeal the suspension and fine.

Despite Turkey coach Fatih Terim appearing to come into contact with the fourth official when angrily arguing after the Czechs had taken a 2-0 lead on Sunday, Gaillard said no action will be taken.

“You would need to have something in the referee’s report to note that something has occurred,” he said. “There’s nothing about the coaches.”
