The Kenya FA was informed of the suspension on Monday for what the African Football body called indiscipline behaviour.

Amrouche had been suspended for two matches over a week ago for indiscipline during a 2015 Afcon qualifier game against Comoros.

Hicham El Amrani, the CAF General in his communication to the Kenya FA stated that Amrouche was handed the one year suspension after he was found guilty of spitting at a match official during the Comoros game. "The suspension is effective from the first day of the notification namely July 20, 2014," said El Amrani in the letter to the Kenya FA.

The former Burundian Coach Amrouche is accused of spitting at the fourth official during Kenya's match against Comoros last month in Comoros, an offence that saw him get sent off.

Reports from CAF indicate that Amrouche’s one year suspension by the Disciplinary Board chaired by Raymond Hack from South Africa made it’s ruling last Thursday at CAF headquarters in Cairo, Egypt.

The board reportedly found Amrouche guilty of breaching article 129 (c) of its rules which provides for a 12 match ban to anyone spitting at a match official.

"The decision can be contested before CAF appeal board. The party intending to appeal shall announce this intention in writing within three days of notification of the decision," said the letter from CAF.

The Kenya FA President Sam Nyamweya said they will certainly appeal.
