MADRID (AP) - Second-division Spanish club Málaga has suspended its coach because of an intimate video released online.
The club said Tuesday coach VÃctor Sánchez del Amo was suspended 'œfrom his duties until a full investigation is carried out.'ť
It said it made the decision after 'œevents that have recently been discovered and which have not yet been verified.'ť
Del Amo said on Twitter he was the victim of 'œharassment'ť and 'œextortion" because of the video. He said police were involved.
The 43-year-old Del Amo played as a midfielder for Real Madrid in the late 1990s.
Málaga is 16th in the 22-team second-division standings.
