UEFA charge Pep Guardiola for wearing T-shirt in support of dead journalist

Pep Guardiola has been charged by the European football governing body for wearing a T-shirt in support of an Argentinian journalist that died during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The Bayern Munich boss wore the shirt, which demanded justice for Argentinian journalist Jorge “Topo” Lopez, during a press conference before the German team's Champions League win against FC Porto and has since been charged by UEFA.

UEFA said the discipline was handed out because the shirt was non-sporting, with the disciplinary regulations further outlining their reasoning:

A breach of these principles is committed by anyone who uses sporting events for manifestations of a non-sporting nature.

There are no further details regarding the exact punishment dealt to Guardiola, though it's expected to be a monetary forfeiture.

Lopez, who was one of the top football journalists in Argentina, was killed in a car accident during the World Cup when the taxi he was traveling in was struck by a stolen vehicle.
