Milan legend Marco Van Basten has got himself into trouble in his homeland for making a Nazi remark live on air.
Van Basten was working on Fox Sports as a pundit for the match between Heracles and his former side Ajax.
The Dutchman said ‘sieg heil’, which is a German phrase for ‘siege victory’ and is associated with Adolf Hitler and Nazi rallies.
Worse yet, he said the phrase on a day in which Dutch football was promoting a campaign against racial discrimination.
Van Basten has since issued an apology, saying: “I made a huge mistake and it was stupid on my part.”
The 55-year-old also confirmed that he would make a donation to the Netherlands Institute for War Documentation.
He has been suspended by Fox Sports for one week and will not return until December 7.

Marco van Basten has apologised for the Nazi slur against German coach Frank Wormuth of Heracles. He thought his microphone was switched off when he said 'Sieg Heil'. After his apology he tried to put a spin on what he said, which makes it worse.

Van Basten, you are a legendary player. However, saying ‘sieg heil’ is just out of any limits. Disgusting. Literally disgusting.

After the German coach of a Dutch club is interviewed, Van Basten is heard saying “Sieg Heil,” claiming he was joking about the German language. The Nazis occupied 🇳🇱 🙄

Marco van Basten saying "Sieg Heil" on TV as a "joke" (when the German coach of a Dutch club team was interviewed post-match), reminds us he once picked no Dutch players of color (Edgar Davids, Seedorf, etc.) for the national team when he was in charge during big tournaments.

Absolutely disappointed in him . What is wrong with people lately? Why is everyone going racist??
It’s a phrase. It doesn’t mean anything bad, just that it’s related to the nazi party. It all depend on ur own perspective of the situation.
