Germany coach Joachim Loew has been banned from the touchline for Thursday's quarter-final with Portugal after being "sent off" in their last group match, a senior UEFA source said today.
Loew was ordered to watch the second half of Germany's win over Austria on Monday from the stands after arguing with the fourth official just before halftime. Austrian counterpart Josef Hickersberger was similarly banished from the touchline.
Loew had denied any wrongdoing.
