Coach quits after racist comment against Nigeria's Eleke

OLIMPIJA Ljubljana coach Marko Nikolic has agreed to leave the Slovenian leaders a week after he racially abused one of his own players.

A video showed Nikolic, 36, calling Blessing Eleke a "black idiot" after he felt the Nigerian, 20, spent too long celebrating an equaliser.

The club initially refused to suspend the Serb, but the Slovenian FA banned him for seven games for "clear racism".
