Sporting Lagos Coach Jeffrey Buter Fined N500,000 by NPFL
Jeffrey Buter, the head coach of Sporting Lagos, has been fined N500,000 by the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) following his admission of error in a post-match interview after his team's derby draw with Ikorodu City. The NPFL considered Buter's limited experience in the league when making the decision to impose the fine.
He was summoned to Abuja by the NPFL on Wednesday to clarify his statements regarding the officiating. Buter has been given a deadline of seven working days to pay the fine, failing which he may face stiffer penalties.
The NPFL has also issued a warning to coaches and club officials to refrain from making reckless statements and to utilize official channels for any complaints.
