KNVB suspends Van Beukering for two and a half years

Former Feyenoord and NEC striker Van Beukering banned for 30 months after punching IJsselmeervogels player Quiermo Dumay near the tunnel.

Jhon van Beukering, 43, has been suspended for 30 months (two and a half years) by the KNVB following a violent incident during a match between IJsselmeervogels and GVVV. Van Beukering punched IJsselmeervogels player Quiermo Dumay near the players' tunnel; Dumay filed a complaint. GVVV terminated Van Beukering's employment, along with his brother Dennis, though Dennis was cleared by the KNVB as he was not involved in the altercation. Van Beukering cannot work as a coach during the suspension period and may appeal the decision.
