Crawley Town have suspended manager John Yems indefinitely after “serious and credible” allegations were made over him using discriminatory language towards the club's players.
The 62-year-old will not be in the dugout for Crawley's League Two match on Saturday, away at Mansfield Town. A statement posted on the club's website on Saturday morning said: "Late Friday, Crawley Town Football Club was made aware of serious and credible accusations that first team manager John Yems used discriminatory language and behaviour toward our players.
"We take these allegations seriously and, effective immediately, have suspended him indefinitely as we investigate and consider further punitive action. Let us be clear: Crawley Town Football Club stands behind our players, employees and supporters, and we will never tolerate racism or discrimination of any kind."
