Bafana Bafana former coach Stuart Baxter has been kicked out of India’s Odisha FC after his reckless comment about rape in a post-match interview on Tuesday.
Baxter had compared his team’s failure to rape after they lost the match against Jamshedpur on 1 February.
“I think one of my players would have to rape someone or get raped himself if he was going to get a penalty,” Baxter said in an interview.
On Monday Odisha released a statement condemning Baxter’s comments.
“Odisha FC has decided to terminate head coach Stuart Baxter’s contract with immediate effect,” read the statement on Twitter.
The 67-year-old Baxter joined the Indian Super League club last year. His comments came after his team lost 1-0 against Jamshedpur on Monday.
