Smoking coach shown yellow card

The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has warned the Super League club, Beşiktaş that it will fine coach Slaven Bilic if he again smokes inside a stadium during a soccer game, according to a Hurriyet story.

The TFF told the club Bilic had been found smoking a cigarette inside a stadium despite a no-smoking ban.

It said the coach would be fined if he committed a second offense.

Photographs of Bilic apparently smoking while watching a Galatasaray vs. Gaziantepspor game at the Türk Telekom Arena in Istanbul caused controversy when they were spread on social media last week.
