MLS suspends Schallibaum; rescinds Olsen suspension

New York, NY – Major League Soccer announced Friday that Montreal Impact head coach Marco Schallibaum has been suspended one additional game and issued an additional fine of $5,000 for his repeated misbehavior.

Schallibaum was ejected by the referee during Montreal's match against D.C. United on Aug. 17. He has been dismissed by a referee in three games this season and suspended by the MLS Disciplinary Committee for entering the field of play on another occasion.
