Brewers look for boss as Martin exits
BURTON Albion manager Martin Paterson has left the club following the expiry of his short-term contract.
Paterson joined the Sky Bet League One side in January, taking over from then caretaker Gary Mills who had replaced former boss Dino Maamria in December.
He guided the Brewers to safety following their 20th-place finish at the end of the season.
Chairman Ben Robinson told the club website: “Martin took up the managerial position under very difficult circumstances in January and he worked extremely hard with the support of his backroom staff, which saw the club secure its League One status.
“The club thanks Martin for his efforts during his time at Burton Albion and wish him well for the future.”
■■Monaco midfielder Mohamed Camara has been handed a four-match ban after covering up anti-homophobia logos on his shirt.
The Mali international put white tape over the badge that featured on the front of all Ligue 1 clubs’ jerseys on the final day of the season.
Camara also covered up the rainbow-coloured league crest on his sleeve during Monaco’s 4-0 win against Nantes on Sunday, May 19.
The Ligue de Football Professionnel said in a statement: “After hearing the player Mohamed Camara, and noting his refusal during the meeting to carry out one or more actions to raise awareness of the fight against homophobia, the commission decided to impose a four-match suspension.”
France’s sports minister Amelie Oudea-castera had called for “the strongest sanctions” in the wake of Camara’s “unacceptable behaviour”.
