Ladan Bosso is the coach of Nigeria's under-20 side
|
Fifa, world football's governing body, is investigating Nigeria coach Ladan Bosso over his alleged "offensive behaviour" at the Under-20 World Cup in Canada.
The move follows allegations by Bosso that a match official had shown racial bias during his team's 4-0 quarter final defeat to Chile in Montreal on 15 July.
His comments came during a post match press conference when he was asked about an anti-racism campaign launched by Fifa during the tournament.
"(From) what happened on the pitch, I think Fifa has a long way to go, because the official showed racism, " Bosso alleged.
"It's good for Fifa to bring up the fight against racism, but they have to follow it to the letter, so the implementation will be done."
Jack Warner, the tournament's organising committee chairman, said he has instructed the Fifa Disciplinary Committee to open a case against Bosso because of the allegations.
The committee is chaired by Sheikh Salman Al-Khalifa of Bahrain.
