Dundalk has been fined € 50,000 by UEFA for “alternative training” because coach Filippo Giovanogli does not have the necessary qualifications to participate at the European level.

Opposition analyst Shane Keegan has been filling the role of manager for the Lilywhites in the competition as, unlike the Italian, he has a professional license.

Giovanogli played centrally in the opening group stage matches, despite Keegan listed as coach, and was subsequently banned by UEFA for last week’s home game with Rapid Vienna.

He was forced to sit in the stands at the Aviva Stadium.

UEFA has issued a fine of € 50,000 and has ruled that Giovanogli cannot have more contributions for tomorrow’s match with Molde and next week’s final with Arsenal.

The UEFA Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body has chosen to “prohibit Filippo Giovanogli from carrying out any head coach function” or “to sit in the technical area during UEFA competition” until he obtains the necessary qualifications.

Keegan will continue in his temporary role.
