Aduana Stars suspend striker for beating coach

Ghanaian champions Aduana Stars have confirmed the indefinite suspension of striker Richard Addai for gross misconduct.

Addai is alleged to have physically assaulted assistant coach Ben Zola at the team's training grounds and the club has quickly moved to instill discipline in the team.

“It's true Richard Addai has been suspended indefinitely for events that happened between himself and assistant Ben Zola.

"We believe the young man failed to show respect to the man and it's important we instill discipline in the team,” the club's Public Relations Officer Kwame Marfo told Peace FM.

“But it's not a move to dismiss him from the club but for him to show some amount of remorse so that he'll be called back into the team.

Aduana tackle North African side Wydad Casablanca in the second leg of the Caf Champions League preliminary round qualifier on Sunday 27 February.
