Slammed: Jelena Polic blasted Partizan player Everton Luiz after he was abused by FK Rad fans Facebook/Jelena Polic

The vice-president of a shamed Serbian football club whose fans hurled racist abuse at a black player said he should “go back to Brazil and show your dark fingers to them”.

In an astonishing outburst on Facebook, which has since been deleted, FK Rad executive Jelena Polic blasted Everton Luiz from rivals Partizan after he left the pitch in tears on Sunday.

The Brazilian midfield ace was subjected to monkey chants and racist insults during his team’s 1-0 win in Belgrade and retaliated by gesturing his middle finger to the crowd.

But Ms Polic derided subsequent coverage of the incident as “biased and sad” as she launched an extraordinary attack on the South American on social media.

Backlash: The post has since been deleted but angry comments have been left on her page (Facebook/Jelena Polic)

Ms Polic wrote: “The whole story about this "big" Everton player and the stuff that happened on the game between Rad and Partizan is biased and sad.

“Apparently we have to respect others more than ourselves, to be proud when in the 'TITO' team (Partizan) has 7 foreign players. and then fake tears, fake 'I love Serbia and I see it as my house' story.

“Well, why don't you go back to Brazil and show your dark fingers to them and swear on Brazilians mothers and everything will be ok.”

Although the post has since been removed, angry comments which condemn the remarks remain on the page.

One read: “You have no soul and no class. Shame on you!”

Luiz had to be consoled by teammates after the final whistle and was said to have been held back by police as he attempted to confront FK Rad supporters.

He said afterwards: "I've been suffering racist abuse during the entire 90 minutes and also was upset by the home players, who supported that. They were all attacking me.

"I want to forget this as soon as possible. I love Serbia and the people here, that is why I cried.

"But please say no to racism."

I hate this stance ignorant white people take. "I should be able to show my pride in my whiteness!" No one is saying you can't, that doesn't excuse racism or showing compassion towards people who've been attacked. fukking IDIOTS. Limited.
