Mozambique: Labour Minister expels Portuguese football coach

Mozambique's Labour Minister Helena Taipo has expelled a Portuguese football coach for insulting the country, a former colony of Portugal.

Diamantino Miranda, the coach of the Costa do Sol club in the capital, Maputo, must leave by Saturday.

Last month, he was recorded saying that Mozambicans were "a bunch of thieves" after disagreeing with a refereeing decision.

He has apologised and cried at a press conference announcing his expulsion.

'Lack of respect' The coach said he did not realise at first when making the comments that he was talking to a journalist - and that his words had been recorded.
