To be fair (for anyone who only glanced at the headline and didn't read the article in full), the artist's explanation of his logic and intent is actually pretty sound: he wanted to highlight that we are, ultimately, all primates. In an art gallery it would be absolutely fine. But if you're a football body running an official anti-racism campaign in a country where monkey-chants at black players are endemic, it's totally the wrong imagery to be using.
