Saudi Arabian Football Federation have issued a decision banning Hilal coach Cosmin Ularoiu from working in the Kingdom for the rest of his life.

The decision comes after Ularoiu threw a shirt holding the Kingdom's heir to the throne's picture on the ground, following the Heir's Saudi Cup final game on Friday.

After leading Hilal to beat Shabab and win the cup title, Ularoiu was angered when officials refused to allow him take a place at the podium before the celebration ceremony began.

The Roman tactician reacted by throwing a shirt with the heir's picture he was wearing on the ground, and Saudi officials considered the act to be of utmost insult to their kingdom.

Crown Prince Sultan Abdul-Aziz, who is heir to the Saudi throne, is also the head of the Kingdom's Football Federation.
