Racing Club have dispensed with the services of goalkeeping coach Juan Carlos Gambande after he was filmed making an offensive gesture to fans of Atletico Mineiro.
The coach simulated peeling a banana and eating it in Belo Horizonte during Racing's 2-1 Copa Libertadores defeat to the Brazilians, which eliminated the Argentine club in the last-16.
And president Victor Blanco confirmed on Friday that Gambande was no longer part of La Academia.
"He was removed from the squad, he no longer belongs to Racing Club," the official told reporters.
"These are actions that Racing do not condone, and they cannot be allowed to take place."
Gambande refused to talk to reporters on Thursday as the team returned to Buenos Aires, but nodded when a reporter asked the coach if he regretted his actions. - Goal
