Senegal head coach Pape Thiaw has been handed a five-match suspension and fined $100,000 by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) following chaotic scenes during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final against Morocco earlier this month.
Television footage from the final showed Thiaw making gestures toward his players after Morocco was awarded a penalty deep into added time.
