Celso Teixeira, manager of third division club Juventus-SC, is said to have called lino Maira Americano Labes a 'hot chick' in Portuguese during a match this week.
The official heard the remark but decided to ignore it and carry on with the match, before making a complaint after the full-time whistle.
The Brazilian football federation is now looking into what happened, but coach Teixeria has tried to defend himself, claiming he has been set up.
'From the moment she walked onto the pitch in that uniform, there were insults coming down from the stands the whole time,' he said.
'I'm sure someone called her a 'hot chick', but it wasn't me. This is a joke.'
Teixeria is facing a hefty ban if he is found guilty of the offence.
