Utrecht coach resigns after a fight with a player

Dutch football has been marred by a violent episode within a team. Utrecht announced on Wednesday the departure of their former coach, Henk Fraser.

The Dutchman, who took over the bench this season, has barely lasted four months in charge (he arrived in August) and it all stemmed from a row with first-team player Amin Younes.

According to 'Voetbal International', Fraser attacked the player and went to physical limits. The sporting director witnessed the fight, which took place on Saturday, in which the coach pushed him and grabbed him by the neck.

Before the club took action, the Dutchman decided to act on his own. "This has never happened to me as a coach. It doesn't suit me and it doesn't suit the club. I have damaged the club with this and it hurts a lot of people, including me," the coach said.
