Pacult slur causes a stir

Ex-Rapid Vienna coach Peter Pacult is accused of having seriously insulted a fan of the opponents’ team.

The former Austrian national team striker – who currently coaches Red Bull-funded RB Leipzig in the fourth-highest German league – called a St Pauli fan a “gay pig” after his team’s 2-1 win over the Hamburg-based club on Sunday, according to reports.

League officials did not disclose whether Pacult could be disciplined. There is no information whether German football authorities have plans to investigate the matter.
