We study magnetic excitations in a bilayer of antiferromagnetic (AF) insulator and correlated metal, in which the double occupancy is forbidden. Effective action of AF spinwave in the AF insulator is derived by using the path integral formula within the second order of an inter-plane coupling. The electrons correlation in the metallic plane is treated by the Gutzwiller approximation, which renormalizes the hopping integrals as proportional to hole density. Remarkable is that the AF magnons are broaden at low energies, only when the metallic planes includes correlation effect. The present results will be useful also to another bilayer of metal and ferrimagnet.
