ADELAIDE United boss Marco Kurz’s has never been suspended as a coach in the cauldron of the Bundesliga or Bundesliga 2 but that soon could change in Australia.

Kurz, 49, was on Tuesday issued a show cause notice from Football Federation Australia after Saturday night’s heated 2-2 draw with Central Coast at Hindmarsh.

Kurz was booked before the start of the second half after having words with referee Shaun Evans following Ersan Gulum’s controversial send off in the 17th minute of the clash.

Kurz has a week to respond to the show cause notice with an interview on Fox Sports TV directly after the clash possibly getting the German in strife with FFA.

“I think if you play with 10 against 12, it’s a very good draw for us,’’ Kurz told Fox Sports.

At the very worst Kurz may face a ban for his comments with FFA also having the power to fine the German who has had almost 300 games unblemished in Germany on the bench since 2005.

Kurz’s assistant Filip Tapolovic was banned for two matches in December after he was sent off when he questioned a controversial penalty decision which cost Adelaide all points in a 2-1 loss to Newcastle Jets.

Tapolovic was issued a red when he was angered that referee Stephen Lucas and the video assistant referee agreed that a ricochet which hit Ryan Strain’s arm was deliberate inside the Reds penalty box before Dimitri Petratos converted the spot kick in the 89th minute to win the game in Newcastle.

Gulum also has another week to explain his actions to FFA after he was sent off last Saturday.

He will serve a mandatory one-match ban this Saturday when Adelaide meets Melbourne Victory at AAMI Park.
