Den Bosch said Wednesday that fans responsible for the monkey chants in the KNVB Cup tie "do not belong in the De Vliert (stadium) and will face the toughest possible sanctions."
The racist chants gave a hollow ring to the slogan "Without respect, no football" that was coined by Dutch football authorities in the aftermath of the death of a linesman who was attacked by players after a match between two youth teams near Amsterdam in December.
Altidore, who is balck, was not available for comment Wednesday.
