Hong Kong: Andre Villas-Boas has been handed an eight-match ban by the Chinese Football Association (CFA), ruling the Shanghai SIPG coach out of making an appearance on the touchline for the remainder of the Chinese Super League season. He was also ordered to pay of fine of 40,000 yuan ($6,012) following his sending off during SIPG’s 1-0 win over Beijing Guoan, September 22. The league season has four games remaining and ends in November. “When the match reached the 78th minute the official from Shanghai SIPG club, Andre Villas-Boas, insulted the referee with gestures which have a negative influence,” the CFA said in a statement.
