Canada coach Jesse Marsch has been handed a two-game suspension by CONCACAF's disciplinary committee for his conduct during the Nations League third-place match against the U.S. Marsch's ban was extended due to his unacceptable behavior towards match officials and delaying the restart of the game by not leaving the field of play. The Canadian Soccer Association expressed disagreement with the decision and is in communication with CONCACAF regarding the matter.
Marsch's suspension will see him miss the Gold Cup group stage matches against Honduras and Curaçao in June. The incident leading to his ejection occurred during Canada's 2-1 victory over the U.S. when he protested a non-call by the referee. The decision came after Jonathan David fell in the penalty area, with Marsch contesting the lack of intervention by the match officials.
