Arsenal youth coach handed UEFA ban for 'insulting' offence shortly after arrival from Man Utd

Horseman, who took charge of the Arsenal U19 side earlier in September, has been handed a suspension by UEFA for "Insulting players or others present" during a UEFA Youth League clash between the Gunners and Athletic Club.

Less than three months after serving the Manchester United U21 side as their assistant coach, Horseman moved to north London to take charge of the Arsenal U19 team. He was hoping to sit on the bench for the club's upcoming clash against Olympiacos on Wednesday, only to find himself suspended by UEFA.

Athletic Club comfortably clinched the clash at home as they beat the Gunners 3-1, courtesy of a brace from Manex Lozano Carmona and a penalty converted by Elijah Gift. Brando Bailey-Joseph scored the only goal for the visitors.

After picking all three points against Newcastle in a closely fought encounter in the Premier League last weekend, Mikel Arteta's side are now gearing up to face Olympiacos in the Champions League on Wednesday before hosting West Ham in a league clash on Saturday.
