“In relation to the events that have recently been discovered, and which have not as yet been verified, Malaga CF immediately suspends coach Victor Sanchez del Amo from his duties until a full investigation is carried out,” the club said in a statement.
Del Almo tweeted his own statement in Spanish before his indefinite suspension, saying his privacy was violated and condemned anyone sharing the clip across social media, according to SB Nation. He said the spread of the video was being done by people trying to extort him for money.
