Sheffield Wednesday are condemning a "despicable" racist message posted on social media towards manager Darren Moore.
It happened after their 4-0 loss to Peterborough in the first leg of their League One play-off semi-final on Friday.
The club have called the behaviour "abhorrent" and are working with police to bring the individual to justice.
A statement on the clubs website said:
"Sheffield Wednesday are appalled by a repulsive racist message directed at Darren Moore posted on a social media platform following our game against Peterborough United on Friday evening.
"We distance ourselves absolutely from this kind of abhorrent behaviour and have taken the appropriate steps by issuing an immediate ban on the individual in question from all SWFC fixtures and events.
"Sheffield Wednesday stand shoulder to shoulder with Darren, the football family and wider society in condemning all forms of discrimination.
"The club will offer our full support to Darren and we are working together with the authorities in ensuring this individual faces the full force of the law as a result of such a cowardly and despicable act."
