Al-Hilal team announced that Cosmin Olaroiu had been fired, and the Saudifootball federation ordered him to leave the country, one day after his team took the match in an 1-0 overtime victory over Al-Shabab.

After the game, Olaroiu threw his shirt bearing the picture of Saudi Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz onto the ground in front of the prince’s representative at the game, Riyadh Deputy Governor Prince Sattam bin Abdul Aziz.

Olariou, 39, was reportedly angered that organizers did not invite the entire team up to the podium to celebrate their victory.

“The Saudi federation has decided to suspend Al-Hilal coach the Romanian Cosmin Olaroiu and not allow him to coach inside Saudi Arabia in the future due to his unacceptable behaviour after the end of the final match of the Crown Prince Cup yesterday,” the federation said in a statement.

“The decision is based on the throwing of the shirt he was wearing that carried the picture of Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdul Aziz, and his refusal to go to the main podium to be honoured with greeting the patron of the match,” it said.

The crown prince is currently recuperating in the United States after undergoing an operation last week in New York for an unspecified ailment.
