Borussia Monchengladbach's under-23 coach Heiko Vogel was ordered to train the women's team as punishment for "unsporting behaviour" towards a referee during a match, the Western German FA (WDFV) confirmed to ESPN.
Vogel, a former Champions League coach at Swiss club FC Basel, was banned from the dugout for two matches for "unsporting" behaviour towards referee Marcel Benkhoff and his assistants Vanessa Arlt and Nadine Westerhoff during a 2-1 win over Bergisch Gladbach in the regional fourth division in late January.
The 44-year-old was also fined €1,500 and ordered to coach a women's or girls' team for six sessions, with the FA allowing Vogel until June 30 to fulfil that part of the verdict.
