Hai exchanged angry words with referee Ngo Quoc Hung during a match between his team and Hoa Phat Ha Noi three weeks ago. As a result of the altercation, Hai will be banned from the touchline when his team host Navibank Sai Gon at Thong Nhat Stadium tomorrow and for the following fixture against Ha Noi T&T in the capital city next Friday.
Referee Hung suspended the match for five minutes and gave Hai a red card that sent the coach to the stands.
Hai will also have to pay a VND5 million (US$230) fine to the Viet Nam Football Federation's Disciplinary Department.
