Lesotho coach Tony Hey has been suspended idefinately, the national soccer controlling body Lesotho Fooball Association (LeFA) has announced.
LeFA president Advocate Salemane Phafane said Hey will be temporarily suspended pending his appearence before the association's disciplinary committee.
He faces charges that include misconduct, insubordination and will also have to answer questions about "dismal performance of the senior national team (Likuena) in the COSAFA Castle Cup held in Lusaka. Zambia in June.
Hey will not be getting a salary until the matter has been resolved. Advocate Phafane said.
The German coach reportedly did not respond to correspondence after the Association queried his going away on several occasions in May and June without informing to the LeFA.
Intitially the coach gave as his reason for being away, the fact that he did not have a place to stay, a fact which was rectified in March. LeFA spent huge sums of money to renovate a house for the coach to stay in, Phafane said.
Hey had instead allegedly managed the team by remote control , asking his assistant Motheo Mohapi to arrange a camp in readiness for a friendly encounter against Botswana.
Assistant coach Mohapi said Hey had said he would be back by August 12 but had not as yet arrived.
