Overview
- Otta received a provisional 30‑day suspension that forbids him from performing coaching duties or accessing the dressing room and bench in official AFA matches.
- The case arises from online posts attributing sharp criticism of AFA leaders Claudio Tapia and Pablo Toviggino to Otta, which both the coach and club label as fake.
- Deportivo Morón says its legal team is compiling evidence and will file a formal descargo seeking to lift the measure, with Otta noting union support is being pursued.
- AFA’s ethics body framed the move as reputational protection and cited articles 13, 14, 15 and 24 of its Code of Ethics, stating the sanction is preventive pending a final ruling.
- The ban lands days before Sunday’s semifinal second leg at Deportivo Madryn, and if not lifted it would extend to a potential final.
