→ Being allowed to stand on the touchline and issue instructions to players and team officials
→ Being answerable to the conduct of his technical staff who do not abide with the Regulations
The use of non-qualified coach will attract a fine of MK500,000.00 and a deduction of three (3) points every time a non-qualified coach is used. All other persons who do not possess a CAF B as minimum requirement will not be allowed to stand on the touchline and issue instructions with immediate effect.
