The Romanian official spoke for the first time after Tuesday's incident last night following the postponement of the match to the Champions League.
He is quoted as saying: “Ala negru” which is translated into Albanian means “This nigger”, when asked by the chief judge, Ovidiu Hategan, which coach should be punished with red. With those words, he was referring to Basaxehir Assistant Trainer Pierre Webo.
However, in a conversation with his relatives who were published Wednesday in the Romanian media, Colescu has defended his character and beliefs.
I try to be good. I'm not gonna read news in the media these days. Whoever knows me knows I'm not a racist! At least that's what I hope for”, the Romanian sports newspaper ProSport quoted Coltescut's words as broadcasting the Daily Mail.
In the meantime, UEFA has launched an investigation into the match, which will resume today (July) by minutes when it was stopped.
Meanwhile, according to Article 3 and 14 of the U. The EFA can also be punished by judges regarding their offensive actions. On the basis of that, anyone who offends someone else's human dignity, including skin color, race, religion, ethnic origin, gender, or sexual orientation, could be punished at least 10 matches or for a certain period of time.
