Pique Receives Two-Month Ban After Referee Row

Former Spain international Gerard Pique has been handed a two‑month suspension by the Spanish federation after an argument with a referee during FC Andorra’s 1‑0 loss to Albacete.

Spanish FA disciplinary committee cited Pique’s “notorious and public acts” that undermined sporting dignity, following remarks made to referee Alonso de Ena Wolf. The incident also saw FC Andorra president Ferran Vilaseca suspended for four months and sporting director Jaume Nogues banned. likesport.biz
