Eibar coach José Mendilibar has been slapped with a two-match ban after he was sent off at the weekend.

The 56-year-old was punished by the referee for protesting decisions on the sideline.

During Saturday’s defeat to Barcelona, Eibar winger Fabián Orellana was shown a second yellow card for hitting the ball away in frustration.

Mendilibar then protested when Luis Suárez was not booked for a similar offence, kicking the ball away in an attempt to waste time.

Eibar will now be without the coach for their next two games against Celta Vigo and Villarreal.

The Celta Vigo game will also see Orellana suspended after he was given a one-match ban.
