Soccer: Farina suing Brisbane

Sacked Brisbane football coach Frank Farina is suing his former club for more than A$325,000 ($407,000) after his dismissal by the A-League side in October over a drink-driving charge.

Farina was fined A$500 and had his driver's licence suspended for three months when he pleaded guilty in the Brisbane Magistrates Court last month to driving with excess blood alcohol.

The former Australian national team player and coach was fined over a similar offence in 2007.
