KOCHI
The Kerala Blasters and their head coach Ivan Vukomanovic have expressed remorse for his or her walkout throughout the ISL playoff match in opposition to Bengaluru FC in Bengaluru on March 3.
“It has been a couple of weeks since we were all caught by negative circumstances that happened on March 3. It is certainly devastating to all football fans to witness such a thing… no one deserves nor wants to be an actor of such an event,” stated an announcement from Vukomanovic which got here late on Sunday.
‘Regret for being part of such a moment’
“These things are not supposed to be seen in sport arenas around the world and I regret being part of such a moment.”
The Blasters’ assertion stated the walkout, which noticed the AIFF’s Disciplinary Committee punish the membership with a Rs 4 crore tremendous a few days in the past and demand a public apology, was taken within the warmth of the second.
“We would like to express our sincerest regrets for the event that took place during the match. We recognise that our decision to walk off the pitch prematurely was unfortunate and taken in the heat of the moment,” stated the Blasters. “We would like to reiterate our respect for the larger football fraternity and assure everyone that we will take necessary measures to prevent such incidents from happening again in the future.”
The Disciplinary Committee had threatened to extend the Blasters’ tremendous to Rs 6 crore and Vukomanovic’s penalty to Rs 10 lakh (from Rs 5 lakh earlier which got here together with a 10-match suspension) if the general public apology didn’t come about in per week’s time.
