BREAKING: Tuchel receives FA match-ban and cash fined as Antonio Conte escapes after Stamford Bridge clash…See why
According to latest reports, Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte have been fined for their Stamford Bridge row, with the Chelsea boss also handed a one-game touchline ban.
Throughout Sunday’s dramatic 2-2 draw in west London, the managers of Chelsea and Tottenham sparred frequently.
After Pierre-Emile Hjbjerg’s equalizer for Spurs midway through the game, the two were originally separated.
At the conclusion of the game, a post-game handshake rapidly turned into another argument, and referee Anthony Taylor issued red cards to both managers as a result.
Both managers have acknowledged acting improperly, with Tuchel earning a larger punishment and a shorter suspension.
He will be permitted to take a seat in the dugout for Sunday’s game against Leeds at Elland Road since his suspension has been temporarily suspended, pending the completion of the written justifications for the decision.
‘An independent regulatory commission has today ordered that Thomas Tuchel be fined £35,000 and banned from the touchline for one match, and Antonio Conte be fined £15,000 after they respectively breached FA Rule E3,’ an FA statement read.
‘Thomas Tuchel and Antonio Conte admitted that their behaviour after the final whistle of the Premier League game between Chelsea FC and Tottenham Hotspur FC on Sunday, August 14, 2022, was improper, and both managers requested a paper hearing.
‘These sanctions are subject to appeal, and Thomas Tuchel’s one-match touchline ban has been suspended temporarily pending the independent regulatory commission’s written reasons for its decision that will be made available in due course.’
Tuchel was left hugely frustrated with a number of decisions he felt went Tottenham’s way during the fiery derby, insisting referee Taylor should not officiate Chelsea matches in the future.
The FA’s separate investigation into those post-match media comments in relation to the fixture remains ongoing.
