Nyon, May 21:
A Czech women’s football coach who secretly filmed players in the locker room and showers was banned from coaching for life by UEFA, the sport’s European governing body.
Petr Vlachovsky, former coach at 1. FC Slovacko, was convicted last year in the Czech Republic of filming more than a dozen women over a four-year period. He received a one-year suspended prison sentence and a five-year ban from coaching in the country.
UEFA determined that Vlachovsky violated rules covering insulting or indecent behaviour. The lifetime ban was announced Tuesday.
UEFA also requested that FIFA impose an international ban on Vlachovsky.
