MLS club Columbus Crew have sacked their reserve team manager Federico Higuain after he was alleged to have refused to let go of the hand of a female referee and told her “don’t forget that this is a man’s game”.
Higuain, the brother of former Argentina international striker Gonzalo Higuain, was sent off and suspended for two matches following the incident, which occurred during a 1-0 defeat to Huntsville City in the MLS NEXT Pro series on 23 August.
