BERLIN (Reuters) - Bayer Leverkusen coach Roger Schmidt was banned for three Bundesliga matches on Wednesday and fined 20,000 euros for refusing to leave when he was sent off in the Bundesliga, forcing a match interruption, the German FA (DFB) said.

Schmidt had shown "continued unsporting behaviour" in Leverkusen's 1-0 defeat to Borussia Dortmund on Sunday, adding another two matches on suspension to his three-match ban, it said.
