Overview
- The suspension totals seven games: two for protests, one for refusing to leave after the red card, three for repeated disrespect toward officials, and one for conduct against good order.
- Referee Iosu Galech’s report says Almeyda was expelled in the 85th minute, caused a roughly three‑minute stoppage, confronted the referee at close range, and kicked a water bottle.
- The committee rejected Sevilla’s submissions seeking to void the expulsion for material error or reduce the penalty to the minimum.
- Joan Jordán received a two‑match ban and Juanlu one match for their expulsions in the same game, and the committee also fined Sevilla under Article 114.
- With 14 league rounds left, the coach will miss roughly half of the remaining fixtures, in one of the stiffest coach bans in Spain since Diego Simeone’s eight‑match suspension in 2014.
