Amrouche was banned and the Tanzanian soccer federation fined $10,000 “following comments and allegations he made in the media about Royal Moroccan Football Federation,” the African soccer confederation (CAF) said in a statement on Saturday. The Tanzania soccer federation had said Friday that CAF banned the 55-year-old Amrouche following a complaint from the Morocco federation. Morocco beat the Taifa Stars 3-0 in their opening game in Group F on Wednesday. Hemed Suleiman was taking over as acting head coach for Tanzania’s other group games against Zambia on Sunday and Congo on Wednesday.
