Vancouver Whitecaps coach Vanni Sartini has got a reprieve from Major League Soccer.
The league, citing a"successful petition," has reduced his original six-match suspension by two games, meaning the Italian can be back on the sidelines for the March 30 visit of the Portland Timbers.
Along with the automatic one-match suspension for the red card, Sartini was handed an additional five-game ban for multiple violations including entering the field of play in a confrontational manner and public criticism following the match. Sartini apologized for his comments during the Whitecaps end-of-season media availability and said he had reached out to MLS' professional referee organization.
