Guangzhou Evergrande coach Marcello Lippi has been provisionally suspended for the team's Asian Champions League quarterfinal return leg at home to Western Sydney Warriors for "unsporting behavior," the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) said Sunday.

Lippi angrily confronted Emirati referee Mohammed Abdulla Hassan Mohamed after midfielder Gao Lin had followed defender Zhang Linpeng in being shown straight red cards during the Asian champions' 1-0 loss in Sydney on Wednesday.

The World Cup-winning former Italy coach would not be allowed to sit in the dugout during Wednesday's match in Guangzhou, the AFC said.
